After his jaunt to Europe and the exhausting months of his lecture tour, Cobb’s health declined. An emergency operation for a hernia left him recuperating for many weeks, delaying his planned return to Europe. During this time, Cobb published few pieces, but he soon turned his poor health into a triumph of humor. His article titled “Speaking of Operations” struck gold. By 1935, his book of the same name had sold more than a million copies. Cobb’s devotion to the Old South led to his return to southern-influenced writing. The themes of North-South reconciliation and small-town neighborliness suited his audience. Cobb also had ambitions of writing a long-running play and film adaptations of his stories. Cobb became an outspoken voice for “Americanism” and victory against Germany, as well as a prosperous man as he entered mid-life.
