Summary/Abstract: I will present the final stage of my study on socioanalytic conversations that I have had with a Bulgarian marginalist writer as a man who turns to creating literature in a situation when he ‘has no one to turn to’. There are the problems of reliability of the obtained data (especially those in the direct autobiographical narrative): firstly as a possible product of the author’s imagination and hence the need for developing methods of literary socioanalysis, secondly because of the effects of personal closeness between the conversers, and thirdly in relation to the endogenous look at the case that is provided by this very closeness. IN the course of socioanalytic conversations and later in the process of analyzing the data from them, the need came up of complementing the initial hypothesis that ‘he writes when he has no one to turn to’, The presentation of his smaller texts before a reading and understanding audience has its doubtless therapeutic role but the work of creating and publishing larger works is more important for overcoming his fractal identity. It came out that this work goes along not only with the underlying presumption ‘he writes when there is someone for who to do it’ (strictly speaking, it is valid also for his smaller texts) but mostly ‘he writes when there is with who to do it’. His successful self-inheritance took place with this last principle, and hence one can make direct conclusions about future therapeutic techniques that go beyond this particular case.
