Omschrijving
A deftly woven tapestry that scrupulously depicts familial ties and estrangement, richly told with a nuance that allows each character dignity and grace
A deftly woven tapestry that scrupulously depicts familial ties and estrangement, richly told with a nuance that allows each character dignity and grace
A brilliant debut with each incisive chapter offering a new window into the beguiling Collins family. This delighted me
The relatives meet, eat, party and bubble with resentment... enjoyable
Introduces an unforgettable cast of characters who remind us that family can be both wound and salve. Sanders offers sharp and original insight into the intimate politics of race and class and the impossible rules we've inherited to navigate them. This is a brilliant and immaculate debut
If love is a many-splendored thing, family love is a little more complex. The extended clan Shannon Sanders conjures in Company is fully alive-and very funny!-recognizable but wholly new, and to read their stories is to get the gift you don't always get from your own family: the feeling of being seen
Assured and incisive, this collection hums with the dark comedy of striving and speaks the inconvenient necessity of affiliation as it unravels the complications of belonging. This clear-eyed debut brims human
The prose is subtle and lean... Company shows the frayed edges of friendship and family, and Sanders extracts comedy from the formidable situations that erupt in people's lives
Each story feels like a completely different vision of the same majestically sprawling family, as these neurotic high achievers struggle to balance the duties of kinship, social appearances, and honesty to their true selves. Reading Shannon Sanders makes me want to visit home
Shannon Sanders lives and works near Washington, DC. Her fiction has appeared in One Story, Sewanee Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, TriQuarterly, Joyland and Electric Literature and was a 2020 winner of the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers.
