List of works set in a single day

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

This is a list of works of fiction set within a single period of 24 hours. This is limited to works where the one-day duration is a defining and non-trivial characteristic of the work, which will typically be mentioned in summaries and reviews of the work.

A "Day in the life" is a recurring device used in various media forms, such as novels, films, plays and television series, showing the events that happen to the character over a day. Some celebrated examples in literature are James Joyce's Ulysses, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.
