A Room of His Own sheds light on the mysterious ways of male associational culture as it examines such topics as fraternity, sophistication, nostalgia, social capital, celebrity, gossip, and male professionalism.

The inhabitants come to call the place "Pepperland", after the Beatles movie, Yellow Submarine.
