Kirkus Reviews called it "distinguished and disturbing work, from a lavishly gifted new writer." When the university press discovered one of the stories incorporated material from a short story by Carl Carmer, the Press accused Vice of plagiarism, revoked the Flannery O'Connor Short Fiction Award, and destroyed unsold copies (which is to say, most of their original press run of 2,000 copies) of the book.
