Hoffenberg bol plodným autorom, ktorého dielo skúma zložité ľudské vzťahy a spoločenské normy s ostrou inteligenciou. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje prenikavými dialógmi a surovým realizmom, ktorý odhaľuje skryté túžby a frustrácie svojich postáv. Hoffenberg sa často zaoberal témami, ako je identita, odcizenie a hľadanie zmyslu v povojnovom svete, čím vytvoril diela, ktoré sú zároveň provokatívne aj hlboko ľudské. Jeho písanie si zachováva jedinečnú schopnosť zachytiť ducha doby a zároveň prehovoriť k univerzálnym ľudským skúsenostiam.
