In Louise Erdrich's novel Love Medicine, who is the main character? Explain.

I do not believe that there is a main character in Louise
Erdrich's Love Medicine. Each chapter is about a different character. The
stories and characters overlap, but this is not a novel as much as it is a collection of short
stories, realistically and poetically shared with the
reader.

Newsweek author, Gene Lyons
says:

[Regarding]
Louise Erdrich's novel Love Medicine...that no matter what the dust jacket
says, it's not a novel. It's a book of short
stories...

As this is the case, it is
impossible to find a main character because the book is not written as a novel, with one
overriding conflict, a steady plot and a resolution to the story. It is written as a series of
short stories with characters from the same two families. The chronology is out of sync. For
example, the first chapter takes place in 1981, but the next chapter takes place in 1934; the
story in the second chapter is related to the characters and story in the first chapter, but with
a totally different plot, new characters—though somehow tied to previous and future characters.
The themes are often the same, showing how the experiences connect the different characters and
generations together, but the book does not read as a novel in the format we are accustomed
to.

It is not a traditional novel, so I don't see that
Love Medicine has a main character.
