Company by Shannon Sanders (Graywolf Press, 2023). On one level, reading Shannon Sanders’s debut collection of short stories is like carefully piecing together a large, intricate puzzle. Company centers on three generations of the Collins family—from the grandparents who ran an Atlantic City nightclub, to the grandchildren scattered around New York and D.C.—along with many of their neighbors, friends, and other occasionally surprising connections. It moves back and forth through time and space, and with each move it grows more and more intriguing.
