Aural Delights No 82 Michael Bishop | Editorial: Michael Bishop by Tony C Smith Poetry: Jamie's Hair by Michael Bishop 02:00 Intro to Main Fiction: Michael Bishop Main Fiction: Vinegar Peace by Michael Bishop 07:41 Sofa Art Cover: Ed Bellisimo Narrators: Diane Severson, Dale Manley Vinegar Peace, or, The Wrong-Way Used-Adult Orphanage was been published in the July 2008 issue of Asimov' StarShipSofa narrates Vinegar Peace, a SF story wrote by Michael Bishop for his son Jamie Bishop who died two years ago at the Virginia Tech shooting. Michael Bishop says: I wrote "Vinegar Peace" -- in August of 2007 -- because I had to. Our 35-year-old son, Jamie, died on the morning of April 16, 2007, as one of thirty-two victims of a disturbed shooter on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. Jamie, an accomplished digital artist who did lovely covers for four or five of my books, was holding forth in Room 2007 of Norris Hall in his German class more than two hours after his eventual murderer had slain two students in a dormitory on another part of campus. The administration failed to issue a warning -- a warning that might well have saved many lives -- in a timely fashion. However, some of its members secured their own offices and notified their own family members of this initial event; and so the worst school shooting in the history of the United States claimed our son, four other faculty members (including a man, Dr Librescu, who had survived the Holocaust and who held a table against his classroom door until all own students could escape), four of Jamie's students, and twenty-one other young people in Norris Hall, not to mention the first two victims in West Ambler-Johnston dorm. Another twenty-eight students were wounded by bullets or injured leaping from upper-story windows. Some of these young people will live with their injuries the rest of their lives. All of the administrators, with the exception of a woman who later died of a stroke or a heart attack (a death that my wife and I can't help but attribute partially to the stress of living with the mistakes of the President and the other Policy Group members), remain in their positions. So much for accountability, and so much for justice. In any case, "Vinegar Peace" grew from this disaster and from a grief that I can't imagine ever laying totally aside. Jeri and I mourn Jamie's loss every day in some private way, and we think continually of all the other parents and loved ones of the slain and injured who will carry a similar burden with them until they die. We think, too, of the parents and loved ones of the dead and wounded from the United States's optional war in Iraq, who long for their dead and who pray for their injured with an intensity not a whit different from our own. How ironic that our son died on American soil. How sad the wasted potential and disfigured lives resulting from violence everywhere. And forgive me the inadequacy of these remarks. Clearly, I wrote a story because I could not address either my outrage or my grief in any other way. Mike Bishop StarShipSofa is very honoured and humbled to be allowed to bring this story to a wider audience. I know I speak for the SF community when I say our hearts and prayers go out to Mike and Jeri and all the families who have to live with this grief every day. | 4/29/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Funny and Informative!
I simply love this show! I got hooked with their 2-part look at Douglas Adams which was fantastic. While they present the material in a very conversational and informal manner their love and respect for the craft of science fiction is always apparent. Definitely worth subscribing to.
Old friends who know everything about science fiction
To each episode of Starship Sofa, Tony C. Smith and Ciaran O'Carroll bring their funky North England accents and a very relaxed, not to say rambling, conversational style. They also bring loads of information about the great science fiction works, whether it be novels, short stories, radio plays, or films. Their youth may have been misspent on the consumption of massive amounts of sci-fi, but the result is a witty, never-too-long podcast that will certainly be time well spent for any sci fi fan. Memorable topics include bad boys such as L. Ron Hubbard and Harlan Ellison, the impressive nutjob Philip K. Dick, as well as thoughtful, influential types from futurism's distant past such as Cordwainer Smith.
A must for any true science fiction reader!!!
These guys have come up with the most entertaining and informative podcast (presumably from their sofa). They take an author and two of that authors books (but not that authors most famous works), they setup the period by briefly discussing movies or historical events that occured at the time the book was released, and they discuss the plots of the books, the authors life, and some of the authors philosophies. They are not discussing the usual run-of-the-mill science fiction authors either, but real masters of the genre, the authors that helped to shape and form what science fiction is today. A perfect podcast.
