ALPHABET SOUP: THE TRANSLINGUAL SAYINGS OF EMMA AND EVA AS RECORDED BY THEIR FATHER by Eugene Ostashevsky
A6, 270 pages, Colour printing, Perfect bound, Softcover w/ emboss, Edition of 1000, 2026
Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of two multilingual girls as written down by their poet father Eugene Ostashevsky. As their Turkish-German-Russian-American family moves from New York to Berlin, the girls communicate in a witty and colorful language of their own, effortlessly mixing words of different origin. Does who we are determine the way we speak — or is it the other way around? Alphabet Soup shows us the girls’ language as it changes, letting us witness their metamorphoses from toddlers to teenagers.
