Novels That Take Place in One Day (Or Less)

"The writer must pay meticulous attention to structure and to the way time appears to flow through an active consciousness, which must be carefully controlled if it is not to become obsessive... More importantly, they all recognize that it is very easy, and very common, for each and every one of us to live out an entire lifetime of emotion, reflection and experience in a single day – or less."
-Jesse Browner, author of Everything Happens Today and The Uncertain Hour
