Sometimes, hope is a yellow balloon named Benjamin. Life kinda sucks for Benjamin.
The mall shouldn't be a dangerous place. You shouldn't have to fear green men abducting you and feeding you to a tentacle monster. You shouldn't have to fear the anaconda that serves as the staircase to the movie theater. And you shouldn't have to face off against ice cream men with a strange knowledge of black holes. But if you're Benjamin - a sentient yellow balloon - or the Boy, his headless chubby teen sidekick, you have to fear all those things. Because this mall is sick, and it's your job to heal it, or go insane trying.

I love existential crises adventure books – ask Garrett, he knows. So, it was with baited breath and an open heart that I sat down with this book. And Pedro delivered – oh, boy did he deliver.Benjamin is a balloon who, along with his headless teenaged side-kick, witness green men loot the bookshop he is being held, sort of, hostage in by Karen (a woman who thinks Benjamin is her long dead husband), and that's just the opened salvo in this wonderful adventure. Soon, Benjamin is called on by the Janitor to undertake a quest for the very soul of the mall, against the unknowable Monster.I find existential books to be about the most fundamental things which make us human. And what could be more human than a sentient balloon and his headless best friend? Well, practically anything, but in Pedro's capable hands it works. Existential quest books are a search for meaning. Who are we? Why are we? What are we supposed to be doing? What the hell is “good”? Or, as Pedro puts it, shouldn't there be more than this?It owes a little nod to A Lightbulb's Lament by Grant Wamack, but that doesn't lessen anything Pedro has done here. And remember folks, he's done all this in a second language.From it's benign beginnings at the front of the mall, to its cataclysmic climax beyond the realms of reality the whole thing was everything I hoped it would be when I stymied up my hard earned cash to buy it. I can honestly say, I enjoyed every minute of it.Pedro, bem feito. Ele foi delicioso, bonito e surpreedente!(I hope I got that last bit right)

Proença's wit, irreverence, and surrealistic tendencies set him apart from the flock. He's a real honest weirdo and we need more of those around here. If you like really, really strange fiction, this one is for you.

It’s really weird. It follows a sorta dreamlike causality, where one action doesn’t *necessarily* beget the next…but at the same time, it does. Absurdist. Existential. Bizarro with a capital ‘B’. Writing like this can go one of two ways: it’s either going to be disjointed nonsense, or, against all odds, it's going to work.And, by God, Benjamin definitely works.To fans (or those familiar) with Bizarro as a genre, I would say Pedro Proenca’s storytelling is spiritually akin to Kevin L. Donihe’s - meaning, we get no-holds-barred absurdism (with a tiny dashes of horror) delivered to you by way of fast-paced scene changes and lip-curling humor. It’s fairly obvious that Pedro is a fan of this kind of writing, perhaps even a student of it (which I guess wouldn’t be a stretch, since this is an NBAS book) and it SHOWS in every peculiar paragraph.What really sets this book in particular apart are the “meta” elements that spring up throughout: the main character knows he is in a story is being told, he knows he’s in a book, we even get a chapter where we get an excerpt of the book about his book within this book. WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT! Ironically, by poking holes in the fictional world itself and saying "Hey guys, isn't this WEIRD?" it gives us, the readers, one of the best handles on understanding this crazy story and an easy access point into Benjamin’s plight.There a few grammatical/typographical flaws in the text that were minimally distracting, but numerous enough that in merits a mention, so let this be a simple warning so as not to let a minor thing like THAT ruin your enjoyment of this book.All in all, a nice debut from a budding talent. I KNOW Pedro’s got a lot more stories in him to tell, and I’m excited to see what he’s got in store for us in the future.
