Who is Eddie Little?

Eddie Little was born on August 25, 1955. 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 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.
