Holy cow. I had to look up hagiography, too. From Gurunet:
bil·dungs·ro·man or Bil·dungs·ro·man (bĭl'dʊngz-rô-män', -dʊngks-)
n.
A novel whose principal subject is the moral, psychological, and intellectual development of a usually youthful main character.

[German : Bildung, formation (from Middle High German bildunge, from Old High German bildunga, from bilidôn, to shape, from bilôdi, form, shape) + Roman, novel (from French, a story in the vernacular, novel; see roman).]

Urrea--unfortunate last name (said the non-Spanish speaker).
