The Lady and The Shark is a narrative of sorts by Joe Hill. It is from his perspective on events he researched and witnessed to formulate a theory. While reading the article, the first question I had was whether this was an actual theory the author had or was it a story? Joe Hill’s theory has a surreal aspect to it. It seems so unbelievable that I, at first, assumed that the author had fabricated this story for entertainment purposes. I made this assumption based on how the author took an “inconclusive investigation” (pg 1) that four decades of investigators tried to gain information about and he miraculously procured a lead on the identity of the Lady of the Dunes after watching a movie.
