Goodreads asked Hock G. Tjoa:

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

Well, I didn't "get" it. Every decade or so since then I have wondered why not, especially with the appearance of different translations and "Notes." Then it occurred to me to mulled over the myths/legends that inspired it and to come up with a version that made sense to me. Here it is.
