Publisher Author Locked In Censorship Battle
A censorship dispute pits William Jovanovich Inc and author Joan Simpson Burns over delayed publication of The Awkward Embrace. Burns alleges Jovanovich barred quotes and had pages revised, costing time and money, while Jovanovich denies improper interference and cites a binding agreement. The conflict centers on editorial control and libel fears amid settlement terms and legal restrictions.
