Summary/Abstract: The personality traits: cognitive (in “The school business”), social (in “The rebellious child saga”), motivational-affective (in “The troubled home legend”), clinical (in “The sickly child myth”) will be being watched in what follows, and they are each related to a picture that is empirically described as such: the fiction writer, sickly and school-loath as a child, is already a rebel who, more or less defiantly, is gradually letting go his hold of his smothering mother. In all of this Bildungsroman the birth-place (in “The Ortgeist incident”) turns out to be an essential personage, subliminally insinuating into experiences even when not there.
