'Starship & Haiku' is a novel by Somtow Sucharitkul published in 1981.
Plot summary
'Starship & Haiku' is a novel in which the people of Japan seek to die honorably after the world is ravaged by biological and nuclear war.
Reception
Greg Costikyan reviewed 'Starship and Haiku' in 'Ares Magazine' #12 and commented that "A rather depressing book enlightened by good writing, it is more serious in tone and intent than Sucharitkul's short stories. Worth reading mostly because Sucharitkul is likely to become a more interesting writer as time goes on."
The novel won the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 1982.
