==Plot==
''Mad White Giant'' begins with Allen recounting the role of Amazonia in his childhood fantasies.〔 The novel then describes the author's travels between the Orinoco and the Amazon rivers, a trip of over 1500 miles.〔 During his travels, he befriends natives who refer to him as "Mad White Giant", or by his preferred nickname Louco Benedito.〔
Allen is later abandoned by his two Carib companions, Yepe and Pim, who go to work for Brazilian miners.〔 Allen also adopts a dog, named Cashew, whose actions capsize Allen's canoe and leave him stranded in the Amazonian jungle. After a grueling period of starvation, recounted as a series of diary entries (actually written in one sitting〔Allen, B. (1992) "Preface", ''Mad White Giant,'' Flamingo: Hammersmith, London, UK〕), Allen decides to shoot and eat Cashew to survive.〔Hollingshead, I.
