About the book: year / The novel "Green Shadows, White Whale" was born from the Irish impressions of Ray Bradbury, who came to this country in 1953 at the invitation of the famous Hollywood director John Huston to work on the script for the film "Moby Dick". The Emerald Isle, or rather, rain-lashed, dank Ireland, became one of the writer’s favorite “ethnic” themes (along with his Latin American cycle). Over the years, he dedicated many stories to her. And in 1992, a novel finally appeared, which the author called a “belated” declaration of love to the people, country and people with whom fate brought him together many years ago.
