Everything takes place over a few hours, or entirely set during the immediate aftermath of an automobile crash, for example?

I'd like to avoid "and it was all a dream", time travel, or similar plot devices if possible.

I'm curious what a novel of any length purposely confined to a strict time window in-story reads like.

Maybe I should be reading more plays.

Thanks.

The Children's Story by James Clavell.

IIRC, the book takes about 20 minutes to read and the events that take place occur in real time.

Okay, cool thanks.

I read shogun a couple years ago, I wouldn't mind reading something by him that only takes 20 minutes.
