Between realism and the real. On realistic elements in"False alarm" by Stefan Grabiński

This article suggests reading Grabiński’s story called False Alarm through realistic elements present in it. The literary work by the author of The Motion Demon seems to resist the poetics of realistic writing, however its elements appear in many novellas. In this article False Alarm is treated as a tale revealing the mechanisms of realism itself, understood as making up a narration which remains in close relation with reality outside the text. Using the tools of Lacan’s psychoanalysis, Grabiński may be seen as a writer who protects the realism of reality, showing that it always includes some inexplicable remainder beyond symbolic meaning, unable to be integrated in rationalized reasoning. That “remainder” requires making use of an uncanny tale, however it allows us to see to what extent Grabiński aimed at describing reality with all its unpredictability and inexplicability.
