Each of the novellas - The Flea Circus, Room Enough to Caper and Country Pleasures - follows a different protagonist: Roy Sherwood, a member of the state legislature; Neil Christiansen, the state's junior senator; and Jay McGown, the governor's speechwriter.
Brammer won the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award for the book in 1960
