Le opere di Italo Svevo sono un tentativo di penetrare i più nascosti recessi della mente attraverso un'introspezione psicologica che si converte in pura narrazione. Il tipico personaggio delle opere di Svevo è un perdente, un uomo incapace di vivere eccetto che a livello mentale, a causa di una costante autoanalisi che paralizza il desiderio di agire e lo lascia del tutto cosciente della sua malattia e della sua sconfitta.

Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation...."
