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.
