James Fell

James Fell spent a decade writing columns for the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. In 2020, with a worrisome new plague rampaging o’er the land, he decided life was short and it was time to return to his first academic love: the study of history. Dusting off a quarter-century old master’s degree in the subject, he began publishing a profanity-filled daily column on social media. Much to everyone’s surprise, including his own, Fell’s “Sweary History” soon gained a massive following. On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down was published by Bantam Books in 2023.
