Ludo reads Homer in the original Greek at 4 before moving on to Hebrew, Japanese, Old Norse, and Inuit studying advanced mathematical techniques (Fourier analysis and Laplace transformations) and, as the title hints, endlessly watching and analyzing Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, The Seven Samurai.

The difference between “Heavenly Seas” and the cover sequence is like the difference between Lydia Davis’s long short stories and her very short ones. ![]() It is twenty-eight pages long and contains just over a hundred words of dialogue and no narration.
