Kapsis\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis revised and updated edition gathers interviews and profiles covering the entire forty-five-year span of Woody Allen's career as a filmmaker, including detailed discussions of his most popular as well as his most critically acclaimed works. The present collection is a complete update of the volume that first appeared in 2006. In the years since, Allen has continued making movies, including \u003ci\u003eMidnight in Paris\u003c\/i\u003e and the Oscar-winning \u003ci\u003eBlue Jasmine\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While many interviews from the original edition have been retained in the present volume, nine new entries extend the coverage of Allen's directorial career through 2015. In addition, there is a new, in-depth interview from the period covered in the first edition. Most of the interviews included in the original volume first appeared in such widely known publications and venues as the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/i\u003e. A number of smaller and lesser-known venues are also represented, especially in the new volume. Several interviews from non-American sources add an international perspective on Allen's work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Materials for the new volume include pieces focusing primarily on Allen's films as well as broader profiles and interviews that also concentrate on his literary talent. Perhaps Stephen Mamber best describes Allen's distinctiveness, especially early in his career: \"Woody Allen is not the best new American comedy director or the best comedy writer or the best comedy actor, he's simply the finest combination of all three.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert E.
