In his prose, he describes mostly interpersonal relationships and life in various cities and places where he lived, from the Mediterranean to mainland Ljubljana.

His best-known novel is Pastorek which has been translated into six languages, most recently into German as Der Stiefsohn (Septime Verlag, Wien, 2019). Hudolin's novel Ingrid Rosenfeld, nominated for the Kresnik Award in 2014, is about Jews, violence and tenderness, a picturesque vision of the world and an unwavering love of literature: this novel is a treasure trove of canons of world and Slovenian literary history. His works have also been discussed in graduate and postgraduate works. He has received several awards, prizes and award nominations for his work and has been the recipient of various national and international scholarships.
