GREEN SHADOWS, WHITE WHALE
published: 1992
Semi-true story of the year that Ray Bradbury spent in Ireland writing the script for John Huston's Moby Dick. The book alternates between two plots: his relationship and experiences with eccentric director John Huston and his experiences with the Irish, especially a specific group who reside in a Finn's pub. Several anecdotes that were previously short stories are in here: "The Great Collision of Monday Last", "The Haunting of the New", and "The First Night of Lent." 
review:** Take all of Ray Bradbury's most confusing stories you've ever read, and combine them into a book. That's what this is. Its inconsistent storytelling and vague writing, which he usually pulls off beautifully in Dandelion Wine and The Martian Chronicles, makes it extremely difficult to get through this book: the words are like a swamp tough to walk through. Still, I got a feeling of satisfaction after finishing it, and you might like it more than me. And I did like the dialogue between Bradbury and Huston, it showed some interesting insecurities of a young Bradbury. I recommend this book to the Irish, or anyone visiting Ireland, or any John Huston-buffs (are there any out there?).
NOTES: This one might be hard to find... I didn't know it existed until I saw it in a GSU book store, and y'know, college bookstores carry some pretty funky stuff.
