Opie Percival Read

    Opie Percival Read fu un giornalista e umorista americano che ottenne fama come romanziere. Prima del 1887, fu redattore di cinque giornali del sud. Gli viene attribuita la popolarizzazione della frase 'ogni minuto nasce un ingenuo', sebbene questa espressione fosse già in circolazione verbale e sia spesso associata a P.T. Barnum. Il suo lavoro cattura frequentemente l'umorismo e l'ironia della vita.
