Eddie Little (August 25, 1954 – May 20, 2003) was a widely acclaimed American author. He wrote Another Day in Paradise, later made into a film of the same name directed by Larry Clark.[1] Little was also the author of "Outlaw LA" an ongoing article published in LA Weekly. His writings were a rugged portrayal of coming of age in the underbelly of society and heroin addiction.[2] His books were largely autobiographical, and although his supporting characters tended to be fictional, the narrators were almost parallel with himself.

Little died of a heart attack in a Los Angeles motel room, at the age of 48. He was survived by a daughter and two siblings.[3]
