Green Shadows, White Whale by Ray Bradbury

A fictionalized, lyrical memoir of a writer sent to Ireland to adapt Moby-Dick for the movies, where everyday life and imagination blur into a collage of tall tales, pub conversations, priestly confessions, and cinematic rehearsals; the narrative stitches together fragments of memory, local myth, sketches of screenplay scenes, and surreal visions to explore the tug between storytelling and reality, the stubbornness of myth, and the pleasures and frustrations of trying to put the ineffable — a white whale of meaning — onto film.
