Eddie Little (born August 25, 1955), an American author. He grew up in LA with one younger brother and a younger sister. Little else is known about his early life. He was a writer most associated with the books Another Day in Paradise (which was later made into film directed by Larry Clark) and Steel Toes, as well as various articles in the LA Weekly. His books are rugged portrayals of coming of age in the underbelly of society and heroin addiction. His books were largely autobiographical, and although his supporting characters tended to be fictional, the narrators were almost parallel with himself. He died following a heart attack in a Los Angeles motel room on May 20, 2003.
