<u>What is it called when an author interrupts the current timeline to include events from an earlier time? </u>
<em>B. Flashback</em>
<u>Flashback</u> is a literary device that takes the reader <u>back in time</u> to add missing information, events or specific details about the characters or the present events happening in a story.
The opposite device would be <em>flash-forward</em>, in which the story is interruped to depict events that will happen later on the story.
