Plays tend to be very definite in timeframe.
For example God of carnage happens during a dinner iirc? And Death and the maiden during a night or so (except preface and conclusion).
That's kind of what gave rise to this question. Plays are so succinct and plotted accurate and characterization I was wondering what sort of novels also had that kind of accuracy.
But I haven't read many plays, regardless of the fact that I usually enjoy them for exactly the reason I'm asking.
So yeah, I'll definitely read some more plays, but I'm definitely going to check out some of these novels people are suggesting as well
