Best Answer

In the novel "Charming Billy" by Alice McDermott, some literary devices include flashbacks to reveal character background, motif of memory and loss, and symbolic use of alcohol to convey emotional turmoil. The author also employs foreshadowing to build suspense and a nonlinear narrative structure to explore themes of grief and regret.
