Another good article on Andre from Modern Drunkard Magazine. It focuses on his drinking prowess, as you might expect given the journal.

The "survival story" template involves a person getting dropped into the wilderness and proving that he or she is not subject to Nature. But the Grey isn't interested in that narrative.
