Narrative In Favor Of Books Green Shadows, White Whale: A Novel of Ray Bradbury's Adventures Making Moby Dick with John Huston in Ireland

In 1953, the brilliant but terrifying titan of cinema John Huston summons the young writer Ray Bradbury to Ireland. The apprehensive scribe's quest is to capture on paper the fiercest of all literary beasts -- Moby Dick -- in the form of a workable screenplay so the great director can begin filming.

But from the moment he sets foot on Irish soil, the author embarks on an unexpected odyssey. Meet congenial IRA terrorists, tippling men of the cloth impish playwrights, and the boyos at Heeber Finn's pub. In a land where myth is reality, poetry is plentiful, and life's misfortunes are always cause for celebration, Green Shadows, White Whale is the grandest tour of Ireland you'll ever experience -- with the irrepressible Ray Bradbury as your enthusiastic guide.

Notice Epithetical Books Green Shadows, White Whale: A Novel of Ray Bradbury's Adventures Making Moby Dick with John Huston in Ireland

This book was not what I was expecting, but it is still pretty good. I guess I wanted it to be about crazy old John Huston misreading Ray Bradbury and the wacky situations that ensued around their working relationship. That's not to say that there wasn't a bit of that, but this book is good for some old man pub wisdom and literary allusions.



Read paperback and listened to audiobook. Loved it!

Part poetry, part autobiography, and part fiction that merge into a thoroughly enjoyable book. The Dublin pub scenes brought tears and laughter; the Huston episodes made me glad I never met the man; the rambling and regional stories made me aware that I am lucky to live here in Ireland.One anecdote about George Bernard Shaw that went beyond the usual stereotype of the drunken Irish paddy. He, a tea-totaller, landed in a pub with Bradbury and several cronies on a rainy night, and when Shaw was

Great book. Lots that I need to reread and reconsider.

Completely unexpected, and lovely. I had no idea Bradbury was also this writer, and I'm glad I found this book.

I stumbled across an old reading list, which led me to Bradbury's book. I am glad I found it!https://pamkirst2014.wordpress.com/20...
