The story of how little Academy Chicago Publishers (co-owned by the author and her husband, Jordan Miller) tried to publish the late John Cheever's uncollected short stories, and was blocked from doing so by Cheever's family, is now a familiar part of publishing lore (and law).

Industry Reviews

An almost unbelievable - though not unfamiliar - story of a literary enterprise quashed by money and 'the law'. - Kirkus Reviews ""[This story]... has never been told with the exhaustive yet endlessly fascinating detail to be found here... all described in the liveliest manner by Miller, and anyone who enjoys courtroom repartee will rejoice in it."" - Publishers Weekly ""Well-documented and written with restraint and balance, Uncollecting Cheever is an absorbing and sometimes unsettling tale of the perils of litigation, especially for a small press, in a time of declining civility, big money and conglomerate power in the publishing world."" - Washington Post Book World ""Anita Miller quotes copiously from court transcripts and notes, creating an amusing though disgusting picture of a court system ruled by mediocre, star-struck judges manipulated by lawyers who have little regard for grammar, let alone argument..."" - The Boston Globe ""Uncollecting Cheever is a droll, excruciating crash course in publishing and law... vividly evokes the Kafkaesque hell of a long and frustrating lawsuit."" - Chicago Tribune
