About the blog and author
My name is Thomas Brodey, and I’m a student, writer, and enthusiastic accumulator of useless knowledge. Tragedy and Farce is a collection of my essays about history, pop culture, and the connections between the two. Warning: my content is often esoteric and niche, and may be inappropriate for STEM majors.
