Alphabet Soup: A Memoir in Letters - Book Launch & 50th Birthday Party

Alphabet Soup is comprised of twenty-six letters, one missive addressed to each letter of the alphabet, exploring themes that recall and reframe love, death, joy, sorrow, victory, devastation, and more. It is Greg Frankson's first full-length work of creative nonfiction.

A Different Booklist is a Canadian, independent, multicultural bookstore specializing in books from the African Caribbean Diaspora and the Global South. It is owned by bestselling children's author Itah Sadu and her husband Miguel San Vincente.

Yes, it is. Dundurn Press scheduling the release of his book on his 50th birthday was a complete coincidence. Greg originally hoped for a holiday on a beach someplace. Instead, he will be with other bibliophiles in one of Toronto's finest independent bookstores. Sometimes, life requires a pivot.

Everyone who attends will leave with at least one copy of the book, which retails for $22.99. If you come with your family, then a minimum of one copy per family applies. If you want to come but your financial situation doesn't permit you to afford a book, please reach out. We still want you there!
