Green Shadows, White Whale
''Green Shadows, White Whale'' is a 1992 novel by Ray Bradbury. It gives a fictionalized account of his journey to Ireland in 1953-1954 to write a screen adaptation of the novel ''Moby-Dick'' with director John Huston. Bradbury has said he wrote it after reading actress Katharine Hepburn's account of filming ''The African Queen'' with Huston in Africa. The title itself is a play on Peter Viertel's novel ''White Hunter, Black Heart'', which is also about Huston.
Bradbury considers ''Green Shadows'' to be the culmination of thirty-five years of short stories, poems, and plays that were inspired by his stay in Ireland. As with most of his previous short-story collections, including ''The Illustrated Man'' and ''The Martian Chronicles'', many of the short stories were originally published elsewhere and modified slightly for publication in the novel.
==Plot summary==
The narrator, an unnamed writer, is sent to Dublin, Ireland to coproduce a film adaptation of ''Moby Dick'' with a director whose first name is given as "John". While there, he hears of the many strange and surreal stories of the boyos in Finn's pub that make up the bulk of the novel, along with other adventures in the land of Ireland, including a "hunt wedding" and a house that has a mind of its own. The last chapter of the novel is devoted to the successful completion of the screenplay and the narrator's resulting ascent to fame.
