Summary "A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 3" by William Dean Howells is a novel likely composed in the late 19th century, exploring themes of social change and the complexities of wealth in America. The narrative primarily centers around the experiences of characters involved in the magazine "Every Other Week," particularly focusing on the entrepreneur Fulkerson and the various dynamics introduced by Mr. Dryfoos, a character representing newly acquired wealth, as well as the interactions with March, who serves as the editor, navigating both his professional and personal life in New York. At the start of the volume, the plot unfolds with Fulkerson's grand idea for a celebratory banquet to showcase the magazine's success. He envisions an elaborate affair with prominent literary figures in attendance, revealing a blend of ambition and naiveté about the literary world. The character dynamics become evident as March contemplates his place in this new entrepreneurial landscape, reflecting on Dryfoos's vast wealth and contrasting it with his own ideals. Through discussions and interactions among the characters, the narrative introduces the underlying tensions and aspirations tied to social status, identity, and the evolving nature of American society amidst economic growth and personal aspirations.
