009 Notes of a Son and Brother
As of November 19, 2018, the entry for the Henry James autobiography Notes of a Son and Brother mentions the childhood accident that caused "the obscure hurt" that haunted James throughout his life, but it does not include the passage from Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises that alludes to the incident, using it as an oblique way of referencing the protagonist Jake Barnes' war injury that has left him unable to have sex. This is the passage about "Henry's bicycle," and which is almost certainly a reference to the "obscure hurt."
