Caldwell then worked, being a football player, being a bodyguard and selling "bad" real estate.
After two more enrollments at college, Caldwell went to work for the Atlanta Journal, leaving in 1925, after a year, then moving to Maine, staying for five years, producing a story that won a Yale Review award for fiction, and two novels of the Georgia poor.
His first published works were The Bastard (1929) and Poor Fool (1930) but the works for which he is most famous are his novels Tobacco Road (1932) and God's Little Acre (1933). His first book, The Bastard, was banned and copies of it were seized by authorities. With the publication of God's Little Acre, the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice instigated legal action against him, for The Bastard. Caldwell was arrested at a book-signing there but was exonerated in court.
In 1941, Caldwell reported from the USSR, for Life magazine, CBS radio and the newspaper PM. He wrote movie scripts for about five years. Caldwell wrote articles from Mexico and Czechoslovakia for the North American Newspaper Alliance.
