í nea ▁del ▁Sol , ▁in ▁response ▁to ▁rising ▁public ▁interest ▁in ▁Puerto ▁R ican ▁identity ▁and ▁Jud ith ▁Ort iz ▁Co fer ' s ▁work . ▁ ▁Many ▁comment ators ▁have ▁critic ized ▁Jud ith ▁Ort iz ▁Co fer ' s ▁literary ▁style , ▁and ▁her ▁treatment ▁of ▁Puerto ▁R ican - American ▁identity ▁development , ▁in ▁the ▁dual ▁narr ation ▁of ▁The ▁Line ▁of ▁the ▁Sun . ▁Professor ▁and ▁poet ▁Dar l ene ▁P ag án ▁notes ▁that ▁this ▁type ▁of ▁criticism ▁is ▁common ▁for ▁any ▁female ▁" P uerto ▁R ican ▁writing ▁in ▁English ", ▁because ▁she ▁" is ▁generally ▁expected ▁to ▁conform ▁to ▁certain ▁hab its , ▁forms , ▁or ▁signific ations ▁that ▁identify ▁her ▁as ▁Puerto ▁R ican , ▁one ▁of ▁which ▁is ▁this ▁sense ▁of ▁place ". ▁Other ▁critics ▁have ▁described ▁her ▁work ▁as ▁" str add ling ▁two ▁cult ures ", ▁because ▁the ▁fluid ity ▁of ▁space ▁and ▁the ▁location ▁sh ifts ▁throughout ▁this ▁novel ▁and ▁some ▁of ▁her ▁other ▁work ▁make ▁it ▁difficult ▁to ▁categor ize ▁and ▁interpret ▁as ▁either ▁Puerto ▁R ican ▁or ▁American ▁literature . ▁Soc ol ov sky ▁ident ifies ▁this ▁as ▁being ▁a ▁" common ▁tro pe ▁for ▁understanding ▁U .
