So 1 and 3 make sense.

Is the same third of his personal life reflected in every one of his novels, or could it be that different parts of his life are reflected in each of them?

All of his novels could have been written within a fifty-year period, throughout which his personal life probably did not remain the same. In other words, I can’t answer your question, only context
