Deboarah Eisenberg's style and what makes her work (nearly) unique

Halfway through the 3rd story (Cross Off and Move On - corrected title) in Deborah Eisenberg's 2018 collection, Your Duck Is My Duck and still trying to get a handle on her style, what makes it work, what makes her writing unique. the first 3 stories in this short (6-story) collection differ in many ways, entirely different protagonists, for example, but one quality they have in common: a meandering, mosaic-like narrative structure. That is, none of these three stories proceeds on a straight course through time, beginning to middle to end. Rather, each opens abruptly (the 3rd story begins with the names of the protagonist's 3 aunts) and over the course of about 30 pp (these stories are relatively long) the narrative fills in so that only at the end do we see the full picture, so to speak. Different protagonists: a successful NYC artist invited to spend time at the home of one of her patrons where she feels like an outsider and somewhat like hired entertainment; the daughter of a movie star from the 60s joins a gathering of her mother's colleagues for a brunch in NY to discuss and carp about a recent book about their set; a woman learns of the death of her cousin, her only known relative, which leads her to ponder her childhood and the lies her mother told her about family origin. But is DE's narrative strategy unique? Not quite - think for ex. of Alice Munro, famous for her stories in which, as she once put it, the narration is something like wandering through the rooms of a big house. But their work is so different, as well: Munro's is highly interior and tightly focused on a lead character; DE's work is full of quips and bright lines, highly depending on sharp dialog. Munro for all her strengths has focused her life's work on two locales - Vancouver and rural Ontario - and on narrators who share many qualities with the author; DE, judging from this small sample, is more interested in variety and reveals little about herself, at least ostensibly. Reading Munro we feel we get to know the author and her world in depth; reading DE, I believe (from this small sample so far), we are impressed by the author's wit and imagination but we don't have the sense of a life unfolding or of a study of a time and place in depth.
