Little has a booming baritone, a habit
of breaking into song and twirling
about onstage, and an old-school actor’s
way of emphasizing consonants
and elongating vowels. He’s been described
as a cross between Robin Williams
and Albert Einstein, and when he
makes a joke that pleases his audience,
which happens a lot, he looks even
more delighted than they do. His
classes at Harvard were always oversubscribed
and often ended with standing
ovations.
In contrast, the man I’m about to describe
seems a very different breed: he
lives with his wife in a tucked-away
house on more than two acres of remote
Canadian woods, visited occasionally
by his children and grandchildren,
but otherwise keeping to himself. He
spends his free time scoring music,
reading and writing books and articles,
