Joe David Brown byl novinář a autor, známý především svým románem Addie Pray, který byl adaptován do filmu Paper Moon z roku 1973. Jeho díla se často vyznačovala smyslem pro humor a vhledem do života obyčejných lidí, zejména v dobách ekonomických potíží. Brown dokázal zachytit ducha své doby a prostředí, v němž se jeho postavy pohybovaly, s citem pro detail a autenticitu.






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.
