"Louise Erdrich’s entire “Reservation Series” of novels (about 14 books or so) could be considered conceived as Interconnected Stories. However, they are novels—not short stories.

But “Love Medicine” (her first published novel) could be seen as (at least half) composed of a collection of short stories—by some. And it is a powerfully done collection of stories.

So I’m including “Love Medicine” as a stand-in for the entire Reservation Series. A very slight bending of the definition—so that I may include a powerful Interconnected Series of stories.
