I have never heard of this. Up to a point Hemingway may be putting the knock on solitary heroes ( for example Charles Lindbergh) but there is nothing objectionable in the tale of the fisherman. certainly no foul language, sexual plot twists, homo-erotic angles of development. it is sort of sorry tale, but nobody dies (among the humans) the exertions of the voyage do NOT kill the Fisherman, and the version I remember reading ends relatively happily as a young lad wants to go fishing with him as he returns ( alive but sans big catch) to port. It could have been more cheery, but there is nothing objectionable about the story- now you have domestic animal deaths in Red Pony, and some others, and often violence is cast in to some story just to pepper things up- but not here. I can"t see anything wrong with the story.
