Writing primarily in English despite his European origins, he crafted standalone works that challenged conventional narrative structures and psychological realism. His most acclaimed novel, The Painted Bird, became a landmark work of postwar literature, establishing him as a significant voice in contemporary American letters and leading to his presidency of the American P.E.N. Center.
