Some years ago, after finishing my MFA, I dedicated a special shelf on a bookcase to a particularly important collection of books: those authored by writer-friends. The collection has grown rapidly (to the point I’ll soon need to clear another shelf) and I was beyond excited to add Jen Companik’s debut story collection, Check Engine and Other Stories, to this hallowed spot.
