Bezmozgis se ve svých dílech zabývá tématy identity, vykořeněnosti a hledání domova, často s využitím ironického humoru a pronikavé psychologické hloubky. Jeho próza je charakteristická precizním jazykem a schopností zachytit složité mezilidské vztahy. Čtenáře si získává svým originálním pohledem na životní zkušenosti imigrantů a jejich potomků. Jeho psaní je pronikavé, provokativní a zároveň hluboce lidské.
