Somtow's first novel, \u003ci\u003eStarship \u0026amp; Haiku,\u003c\/i\u003e was awarded the Locus Award and caused a sensation in 1981 with its extraordinary Asian-skewed view of the post nuclear apocalypse. In this novel, only Japan has survived a world-wide holocaust, and Japan's culture has turned inward, exalting its past and its aesthetic of suicide. In this grim world, a young girl makes contact with a renegade member of an alien race ... the whales. Together, they plan a new future for the world's intelligent life. Part savage satire, part poetic evocation of a manga-like universe, S.P. Somtow's novel was the inspiration for Kathy Mar's award-winning song \"Starship and Haiku.\"","brand":"Diplodocus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064536776944,"sku":"9781940999067","price":17.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940999067_p0.jpg?v=1763793331","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940999067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
