Eugene Ostashevsky in Brooklyn

Join n+1 on Sunday, April 26 for a celebration Alphabet Soup: The Translingual Sayings of Emma and Eva as Recorded by Their Father, Eugene Ostashevsky, published by Tamizdat and Rab-Rab Press. Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of two multilingual girls written down by their poet father. 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.

Ostashevsky will discuss and read from Alphabet Soup, and copies of the book will be for sale, along with beer and wine.
