Dullyho dielo sa hlboko ponára do tém traumy, pamäti a hľadania identity tvárou v tvár nepredstaviteľnému utrpeniu. Jeho písanie je surovou a nekompromisnou sondou do ľudskej odolnosti a zložitosti psychiatrickej starostlivosti. Prostredníctvom svojej vlastnej skúsenosti s lobotómiou v detstve Dully odhaľuje krehkosť ľudskej mysle a silu vôle. Jeho pamäte sú naliehavou výzvou k pochopeniu a empatii.
