Dr. Woods Hutchinson says that fat people are happier than other people. How does Dr. Woods Hutchinson know? Did he ever have to leave the two top buttons of his vest unfastened on account of his extra chins? Has the pressure from within against the waistband where the watchfob is located ever been so great in his case that he had partially to undress himself to find out what time it was? Does he have to take the tailor's word for it that his trousers need pressing?

Autorenporträt
Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb (1876–1944) was an illustrious American author, humorist, and columnist, best known for his satirical and humorous takes on life in the early 20th century. Born in Paducah, Kentucky, Cobb began his illustrious career as a journalist before branching out into short stories and novels. His keen observations of both the South and the broader American society are immortalized in his prolific writings. Drawing upon his Southern heritage, Cobb weaved together the rich tapestry of the human condition, filled with wit and a deep understanding of regional dialects and conventions. Cobb's literary prowess is showcased in works such as 'Cobb's Anatomy' (1912), a tongue-in-cheek dissection of human behavior and societal norms. This book is characteristic of his light-hearted approach to storytelling, although he was capable of more serious and reflective prose as well. Cobb's gift for the written word and distinctive literary style made his work popular not just in the United States but internationally. He was celebrated for his ability to capture the subtleties of American culture with a balance of satire and empathy. Despite changes in literary tastes over the years, Cobb's writings have endured, painting a vivid picture of his era for future generations. Irvin S. Cobb's contributions to American literature continue to be recognized for their originality, insight, and enduring humor.
