 | | Grabinski used his theory of durational time to splendid effect in "Saturnin Sektor." But it was Bergson's concept of elan vital--that spiritual force, or energy, that underlies reality and influences matter--which struck the deepest cord in Grabinski. |
 | | All of Grabinski's innovative tales were examples of a particular type of fantasy, which he proposed calling "psychofantasy" or "metafantasy." As opposed to straightforward, conventional fantasy that displayed the outward and the ornamental, this type of fantasy employed as its basis psychological, philosophical or metaphysical concerns. |
 | | When Grabinski began to abandon, for the most part, the short story format around 1922 and turn to novel writing, his self-motivated calling as a serious investigator of the unknown flowered into mysticism, a circumstance that doomed his work in the eyes of the critics. |
