Synopsis and Commentary:
Green Shadows, White Whale is a semi-autobiographical novel of Bradbury's experiences in Ireland while he was writing the screenplay for the John Huston adaptation of Moby Dick. A writer's rite of passage, these are the adventures of an eager and somewhat naive young man as he faces down the larger-than-life director, wrestles with the mythical beast, and -- with enthusiastic help from the boys at Finn's Pub -- comes to know the secrets of the Irish.
This is a delightful novel with a colorful and complex mosaic of characters, experiences and insight.
