	Flashback (literary technique) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In literature and film, a flashback (also called analepsis) takes the narrative back in time from the point the story has reached, to recount events that happened before and give the "back-story." Analepsis allows a narrative's discourse to re-order the story by "flashing back" to an earlier point in the story.
		Flashbacks were also used in Robert Ludlum's novel The Janson Directive.
		In a story if flashbacks are presented non-chronologically it can be ambiguous what is the present of the story: if flashbacks are extensive and in chronological order, one can also say that these form the present of the story, while the rest of the story consists of flash forwards.
