I've found this video on Youtube, which explains some symbolism and the effectiveness of Louise Erdich's writing style as she wrote "Love Medicine".. This describes the account where Nector burns Lulu's house down, and in the last chapter we had to read where Lulu actually has to go and rescue baby Lyman from the flames. This video also describes the clear symbol of the Geese in the Novel.

This second video i found is pretty cool. It a short faux-trailer of the chapter "Crown of Thorns" where Gordie endlessly drinks and shouts June's name and struggles to turn many loud noises on to mask seeing or hearing June.
