Alphabet Soup collects the sayings of two multilingual girls as 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. 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. With an essay and poems by the author.
