RB Dublin stories?

I was just finishing F451 and I was reading the coda, he said something like "If the Irish don't like my Dublin stories.....". What stories on Irish or Ireland has R.Brad wrote? Are they books or short stories?

thanks
Tom

Ray has several plays also dealing with the Irish. It probably started when he was hired to write the screen play of 'Moby Dick', where Gregory Peck portrayed Ahab. This necessitated the Bradburys to move for quite a few months to Ireland, while Ray wrote the screenplay, under the eye of John Huston. His adventures there, at that time, initiated a whole string of short stories.

Plays include such titles as:
'Falling Upward'.

A new Irish play, 'Drunk and in Charge of A Bicycle', is opening in Los Angeles beginning of 2004. For this play, info: http://www.theatrewest.org/

Most or all of the Irish stories can be found in the novel "Green Shadows, White Whale," although many are in different form than their original short story appearances. Several of the plays can be found in "The Anthem Sprinters and Other Antics."
