Joe David Brown fue un periodista y autor, conocido principalmente por su novela Addie Pray, adaptada a la película Paper Moon de 1973. Su obra a menudo capturaba un sentido del humor y una perspicacia sobre la vida de la gente común, especialmente en tiempos de dificultades económicas. Brown evocaba con habilidad el espíritu de su época y los entornos que habitaban sus personajes, dotándolos de una aguda autenticidad y detalle.
Addie is the cheekiest, most cunning, and lovable little rascal to ever roam the streets of Alabama and literature. This mischievous girl captures the reader's heart from the very first page, as stealing is Addie's specialty. Even the savvy Long Boy acknowledges her talent as he takes her under his wing. From him, Addie learns how to con widows into buying ornate Bibles with inscriptions from the beyond and how to transform a clunker into a brand-new ride. The novel, originally published in 1971 as "Addie Pray," became a worldwide success. A year later, it caught the attention of Peter Bogdanovich, whose film adaptation, titled "Paper Moon," became an unforgettable cinematic experience.
