I employ some narrative techniques I do not know the names for.
We all know what a flashback is.
But what about a flash forward where the author reveals certain details out of sequence? Does that have another name?
What about where an author pretends his opus is the autobiography of another? In other words, that is the fictional premise going on. There must be a name for that.
There were a few websites of lists of narrative techniques, but nothing was helpful.
I noticed some techniques with fancy French or Italian names.
