Thomas Mann, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and 1929 Nobel Prize laureate; author of the Magic Mountain and Death in Venice who fathered 4 children (although being uncontroversially gay) and whose immediate and wider family was subsequently riddled with disaster and suicides, favoured one of his children to such a degree that the other children took to looking on in horror.
Responding to the criticism of favouritism Mann declared that (in that sententious writerly way) that "...one should let the children get used to injustice early."
Ouch, anyway out there who is the son or daughter of a writer?
