Writing in the London Review of Books in 2016, Alice Spawls commented on several unconventional characteristics of Levy’s writing: she “doesn’t like stable narrators”, has a “preference for shifting perspectives – she especially likes looking at one character through another”, and “is interested in women who don’t have homes and aren’t sure where to look for them” (“women who like to dissect things, who reassure themselves with cataloguing and calculating, as though people and feelings could be contained by indices”). Spawls noted that Levy’s stories “almost always begin with a failure of language”, explaining that Levy “has said that she’s not interested in the most articulate person in the room, and that her work is informed by the theatre director Zofia Kalinska’s statement: ‘We always hesitate when we wish for something. In my theatre, I like to show the hesitation and not to conceal it. A hesitation is not the same as a pause. It is an attempt to defeat the wish.’”
