When you're in college, take as many liberal arts classes as you can without majoring in liberal arts. And be sure to join a fraternity. This is the advice Fred Nelson follows when he leaves his small East Texas town, hoping to only return for holidays, and of course, the Yamboree. What's the Yamboree? It's the annual carnival that occurs in his hometown of Vienna and it's the only thing he really likes about living there. Yet through the influence and nepotism of his frat brother, Jason Morlatt, Fred finds himself back in his hometown and in charge of turning it into a metropolis. Join Fred on a morally ambiguous journey, fueled by philosophy and cognitive psychology, as he endures the pain and frustration of getting everything he wants.
