Goodreads asked W.S. Ishida:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

W.S. Ishida Initially, I was asked to record someone's memoirs for posterity. But after 9 hours of engrossing audio-recorded interviews, I started to see the potential for it to form the basis of a novel. Therefore Goodbye to Ribbons is largely based on true events.
