Chocolate reward to the first person commenting on this post who can tell me what 'prolepsis' is and give me an example from Birdsong.

  1. Chocolate!
    The representation of something that has occurred before it's time? Eg, when Stephen is on the boat, looking around his surroundings and thinking of death? 'All of them, he thought, would be taken back by this earth: Berards tongue would decompose into the specks of friable soil...'

    You should know I've never heard of the word 'prolepsis' before!
