It`s 1953 and a young writer is summoned to Ireland by the brilliant, egotistical film director John Huston. His assignment: to catch a leviathan on the nib of his silver pen by writing a screenplay for that whale of a novel, Moby Dick. But from the moment he steps off the boat and onto the shimmering green isle, he finds himself embarked on an adventure even more extraordinary -and far more impossible: to penetrate the enigma of this fog-shrouded land and its maddening and wonderful people.

Here are sentimental IRA terrorists, lovelorn banshees, tippling priests, and devilish playwrights, and through it all the indefatigable good cheer of the boyos at Heeber Finss`s pub. Green Shadows, White Whale is a masterful tale told as only Ray Bradbury can tell it, capturing for all time a land where magic is commonplace, poetry is the native tongue, and life is a tragedy that somehow always leaves us laughing in the end.
