About This Book

A young man named Blue Jeans confronts sudden poverty and dashed ambitions as he arrives in a dusty town and reflects on luck and lost promise. Parallel episodes follow Little-Tweed-Suit, a woman troubled by unwanted attentions amid indifferent bystanders, and a disgraced public figure whose scandal and death ripple through his community. The narrative shifts between rural and city scenes, tracing competitions, personal reckonings, social reputation, and shifting alliances as characters navigate romances, business dealings, and the rough contests that determine who wins and who loses.
