Alphabet Soup: The Translingual Sayings of Emma and Eva as Recorded by Their Father
Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of Eugene Ostashevsky's multilingual daughters from toddlers to teenagers, as their Turkish-German-Russian-American family moves from New York to Berlin. The girls communicate in a witty and colourful language of their own, effortlessly mixing words of different origin.
The book will resonate with anyone who has learned another language, lived a family life in multiple languages, or simply been entertained by the funny things children say.
We interviewed Eugene about Alphabet Soup: about the benefits and challenges of a life across languages, and the patterns of translingualism across the generations of his family; about the relationship between our identity and the way we speak; the inspiring linguistic playfulness and creativity of children, and more.
On 25th June, Eugene will join us for the UK launch of Alphabet Soup, alongside Tamizdat publisher Yasha Klots and poet and translator Robert Chandler.
Get 15% off online orders of Alphabet Soup till the end of June.
