Thomas S. Hischak is professor emeritus of theatre at the State University of New York College at Cortland. He is the author or coauthor of more than twenty books, including The Encyclopedia of Film Composers (2015), Theatre as Human Action, Second Edition (2016), 1939: Hollywood’s Greatest Year (2017), and The 100 Greatest American and British Animated Films (2018), all published by Rowman & Littlefield.

Recommended: The hundreds of entries in this encyclopedia cover all things Woody Allen—every short story, all movies, Broadway shows, television work, comedy, and acting career. The book includes entries for actors, directors, designers, producers, recurring composers and lyricists, and cinematographers, along with some thematic entries (e.g., "Working Methods"). Entries for films include a list of staff involved in the production, a cast list, a detailed plot summary, a surprisingly incisive critical analysis, a black-and-white photo, a list of awards, a list of all the music used, and the ratings accorded by agencies, publications, or critics. There is no lengthy entry for Allen himself, but the front matter includes a brief biography (two pages). The volume concludes with five appendixes: a chronological list of Allen's works; entries by category (films, theater, television, fiction, performers, and miscellaneous topics, e.g., psychoanalysis and jazz and blues); a chronology of awards; music-related entries (soundtracks, compilation recordings, recurring composers and lyricists); and actors.
