| Summary | "Winner Take All" by Larry Evans is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young man named Blue Jeans who experiences a series of unfortunate events, leading him to confront the harsh realities of life and the fragility of his dreams. With themes of ambition, resilience, and the role of luck, the narrative sets the tone for his struggle against adversity. At the start of the story, Blue Jeans reflects on his dismal situation after a series of failed job prospects and a lost poker game that drained his funds. As he rides into the impoverished town of Reservoir on his weary horse, he grapples with feelings of despair and disillusionment. The arrival of a special train filled with wealthy Easterners catches his attention and marks a pivotal moment when he witnesses the opulence of those who seem to have everything he lacks. Through a series of encounters and challenges, including a tense moment with a cruel superintendent, Blue Jeans's character begins to solidify as he seeks to reclaim his identity and pursue a path that could lead to greater fulfillment.
