Read the Smashwords interview with Madeira Desouza. Provocative Science Fiction Time Travel AdventuresProvoking readers is a very different process compared to provoking viewers with visual works. Madeira Desouza chose the science fiction time travel adventures genre deliberately so that his novel would turn out to be emotionally challenging and not at all “safe” in the intellectual or visceral sense. He did not attempt to create something that would make money for himself or for others. But, he did attempt to create something that would make readers/viewers think about issues that they otherwise might not think about while enjoying spending time with masculine and muscular male characters. What Madeira Desouza created is a science fiction time travel adventure that is also true to the bara underground art genre. This is because Madeira Desouza depicts gay male same-sex feelings and sexual identity with masculine, muscular males that sometimes are violent and exploitative. Read more about the bara underground art genre. What does his work in that genre say about him? Most writers will admit what he admit here: They do not like violence and exploitation in everyday living. They write about violence and exploitation. It’s fiction. It’s only pretend. It’s only art or make-believe. As such, Madeira Desouza does not advocate for violence and exploitation in real life. His target audience is gay males, but straight females also are known to enjoy the bara genre and his works in particular. Madeira Desouza suspects that what he has created probably will not be made into a traditional Hollywood movie because the story and characters do not fit into the framework of major motion pictures that tell science fiction stories. Yet, he definitely can imagine this would make show business sense as a series of episodes for streaming on Amazon or Netflix. Based on a Real-Life EventHe admits: My writing Baja Clavius: Moon Men Deep Inside dates back to when Madeira Desouza began writing the story in 1990. That year he was driving westward by himself on his way to the Grand Canyon very early in the morning through the vast Navajo Nation, a Native American reservation spanning portions of the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. He saw a young man hitchhiking on the side of the road standing next to an old pickup truck. The young man wore tattered cowboy attire that suggested he had just survived a particularly rough journey. His cowboy hat caught the soft yellow light of sunrise in an eerie way that made him look otherworldly. I set aside all suspicions and common sense regarding the risks of picking up a stranger in a very isolated area. I made the choice to stop driving and pick him up. Dig deeper into this real-life experience from 1990 which was the basis for my writing Baja Clavius: Moon Men Deep Inside. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
