Exactly what the title says. I just finished Little Altars Everywhere and I feel like I'm missing something. The book felt like a series of meandering anecdotes about sad, lonely characters that ended up going nowhere. The best part of the book was when various characters would reflect on the land and their relationship to their hometown, but most of it was taken up with various stories of their dysfunctional relationships and home life. Can anyone tell me what the point of this book is, and/or why people seem to enjoy it so much?
