used books,books, From the Preface: Here's an assignment for you. Write about a specific place you once lived. Do not describe your state of mind when you lived there, but, rather, show us by the descriptive details what life was like for you then. Show us how you learned of your wife's affair with a trucker. Let us feel how you felt when you watched your neighbor burn herself to death in her car. Don't explain to us how you are a little girls with a heart condition, but show us how you lean against your grandpa sometimes, because he knows my heart needs more rest than other people'S. Put us down in the middle of East St. Paul in the 1970's and let us live that hardscrabble urban life. You'd rather not do this assignment? You're in luck then, because Suzanne Nielsen has already done it for you. I came up for air out of Nielsen's fictional world and looked around me with wicked eyes. All of Nielsen's characters live and breathe here, Behind the 8-Ball. Suzanne Nielsen's stories, for the most part, are tiny--most are no longer than 500 words. Nor are her characters always large, but they are always startling in the best of ways; they open our hearts and minds, they shift the world just a little bit on its axis. From Full Bloom: The cactus does not bloom. It wants forgiveness and calls to me. It has a message to deliver, and I am its teetering receptor. I trust the needles won't harm me...so I walk ever so slowly into its arms and stand ready for its embrace. Suzanne N.
