FLASHBACK
flashback ( of a person’s thoughts or mind) – briefly and suddenly recall a previous time or incident. (OED) .
Flashback – beloved of film makers, writers, and BBC7 sound dramas.
Who could forget the ‘flashback’ scene in Hitchcock’s film ‘Marnie’ where we learn late on in the film’s narrative, what happened on that fatal night, or the tour de force that is the flashback narrated in voice over by the corpse in the swimming pool, in the opening scene of Sunset Boulevard. Powerful stuff, and original. My own personal favourite.
Unlike memory recall, a conscious effort to remember something, flashbacks arrive unbidden and often at inappropriate times, bringing crystal clear images that trigger a range of emotions. Like it or not we all get ‘em.
The Challenge this month then is to arrive at the meeting with a piece of prose or poems, fact or fiction, that uses ‘flashback’ to propel us backwards in time
