In contrast, Mark Twain used his experience of Europe in "The Innocents Abroad" to help shape his characteristic narrative stance into that of a gimlet-eyed rube.
Other stories fall into a more characteristic narrative mode, and some of these are even stronger (or at least more overtly active) as Gonzales removes the trappings of reportage and allows voice or premise to move the story.
However, this answer so far is inadequate: not just any historical relationship involving emotional interdependence is a loving relationship, and we need a principled way of distinguishing loving relationships from other relational evaluative attitudes: precisely what is the characteristic narrative history that is characteristic of love?
Through such dynamic permeability, love transforms the identity of the lover in a way that can sometimes foster the continuity of the love, as each lover continually changes in response to the changes in the other.[14] Indeed, Rorty concludes, love should be understood in terms of "a characteristic narrative history" (p. 75) that results from such dynamic permeability.
It should be clear, however, that the mere fact of dynamic permeability need not result in the love's continuing: nothing about the dynamics of a relationship requires that the characteristic narrative history project into the future, and such permeability can therefore lead to the dissolution of the love.
In part this means that what makes an attitude be one of love is not the presence of a state that we can point to at a particular time within the lover; rather, love is to be "identified by a characteristic narrative history" (p. 75).
