1913, that delves into his experiences with alcohol and struggles with
alcoholism. The novel explores themes of masculinity, male friendship, and the

facilitator while also serving as a cautionary tale about its addictive nature

development as a man and a writer. The concept of "White Logic" is introduced,
representing the nihilistic nature of alcohol, and the phenomenon of "seeing
pink elephants" is used to contrast different types of drinkers. The novel is

period. It provides a unique perspective on the relationship between alcohol
and the human experience.
