Such is the case of Joe David Brown, author of Stars in My Crown (1947, made into movie), The Freeholder (1949), Kings Go Forth (1956, movie), Glimpse of a Stranger (1968), and Addie Pray (1971, Paper Moon).
Addie Pray was the last on my to do list in researching the extraordinary Paper Moon. Why last? Because I didn't want two takes, the film's and the book's, I wanted just one, the film's. I got the book yesterday.
No chance of dissonance. The book is boring.
