What strikes me the most is that the same people who say “little is known” about Jim Theis are the people who spent 30 years denying his existence in the first place. They built up a cult around his character, theorizing who he could be, even imagining that he was a satirical non-existant person created by a highly “establishment” writing workshop. More importantly, they dismissed the people who appeared over the years who said they knew Jim personally. 39/
