Article About Brad Vice
Young also wrote a much-publicized article in the New York Press about Brad Vice, a short-story writer whose first collection, The Bear Bryant Funeral Train, won the 2005 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction from the University of Georgia Press. Vice's collection was later pulled from the shelves and destroyed by his publisher, based on an allegation of plagiarism. Young's article summarized the plagiarism case against Vice while also claiming to discover an additional plagiarism charge against Vice. Young was the first to discover and report that Vice's "Tuscaloosa Knights" story appears not only in the pulped book, but also in Vice's 2001 University of Cincinnati dissertation draft of The Bear Bryant Funeral Train. Young's article stimulated a great deal of Internet discussion and was cited by a number of blogs and a newspaper in Japan. Several independent bloggers agreed with Young that Vice had committed plagiarism.

“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
