The author asks what it is about Riessman's scholarship that has inspired love for narratives. In doing so she looks at the contradictions in Arendt's take on love, highlighting understanding and critical thinking as its most salient features, but also as the two main strands that correspond to the notion of <em>amor narratio</em> in Riessman's narrative scholarship. <em>Amor narratio</em> eventually becomes the red thread that brings together the contributions of this volume in different manifestations and expressions.</p> ER -
