Hoffenberg fue un prolífico autor cuya obra explora complejas relaciones humanas y normas sociales con aguda inteligencia. Su estilo se caracteriza por diálogos incisivos y un realismo crudo que revela los deseos y frustraciones ocultos de sus personajes. Hoffenberg a menudo profundizó en temas como la identidad, la alienación y la búsqueda de significado en el mundo de la posguerra, creando obras que son a la vez provocativas y profundamente humanas. Su escritura conserva una capacidad única para capturar el espíritu de la época y, al mismo tiempo, hablar de experiencias humanas universales.
