Appreciate all this, as I toil away on getting together another (linked) story collection that I might just call a novel. And yeah...I'd love to see a short story collection shelf in a bookstore!

this is so smart! I am not, in general, a short story person (I share your feeling about wanting to be immersed, though I wouldn't have put it that way!) but I *loved* Julia Ridley Smith's Sex Romp Gone Wrong, which made me both cackle and cry. and I'm currently reading Margo Steines's Brutalities, which is *such* a great essay collection.
