In her stories, everyday heroes are closely linked by threads of fate. They live in a mess of passion and cruelty of everyday life and they bury themselves in their lives. The threads of fate unravel as the stories are parsed back and forth. In literary studies, attempts are made to assign Ulitskaja's works to a genre , which the author comments with: "Shall they stop!"

Ulitskaja is recognized as an incorruptible author. It brings together the Russian and Jewish storytelling traditions with modern storytelling in a haunting manner, as stated in the reason for the award of the Austrian State Prize for European Literature , which is awarded annually for the entire literary work of a European author.

In her novel Daniel Stein (2010) Ulizkaja implemented the historical model of the life of Oswald Rufeisen in the form of a literary collage . In the foreword Ulitskaya writes: “Numerous documents are quoted in the book, some of which I made up. It was more important to me to follow literary truthfulness than historical truth. "
