flashback/frame tale:  a story that is told from one point of time about a time in the past; the narrator is often looking back in time as he/she tells the story

unreliable narrator: a narrator whose account of events appears to be faulty, biased or distorted, so that it departs from the “true” or “real’ understanding of events.  The term does not necessarily mean that such a narrator is morally untrustworthy, or a habitual liar (though this may be true in some cases).
