It’s Just A Ride
(About the creation of “Ride the Cyclone”)
Jacob Richmond
The initial seed of the idea for writing “Ride the Cyclone” was my desire to dramatize an accident.
I seem to recall Aristotle said in the Poetics there was nothing dramatic about an accident, or a natural disaster… that structurally there is nothing interesting about such events, for they have no real rhyme or reason, and the best they could achieve is a form of spectacle.
