His prose is intensely human, often written in a tone that speaks directly to the reader. He has a cult following due to writing that blends humor, self-deprecation, sharp observation, and deep solitude. He is strongly drawn to beautiful and ephemeral things, often using them as themes. His style is primarily pure literature. Because he writes only when he feels like it, he frequently misses deadlines, much to Guest's frustration.

While appearing to be considerate of others, his speech is often laced with self-abasement.

On top of that, he is deeply affectionate, easily moved, and highly dependent.
