“Who's He When He's at Home?”

Abstract

This chapter, a census of Woody Allen's literary, philosophical, and artistic allusions, provides direct insight into both Allen's creative process and his views on the meaning of life and the nature of the universe. Therefore, it is so much more than an index of “buzz words” collected from a broad spectrum of sources. This census also offers a thorough and up-to-date bibliography of Allen's major interviews, while exemplifying the wide array of publication types in which many interviews appear. Readers will no doubt notice how at times Allen displays a tendency to contradict himself, particularly in his interviews. “Who's He When He's at Home?,” the title of this census, invokes the idea that people are never what they present themselves to be. His selfconstructed persona is that of a non-intellectual — of an autodidact who feels more at home at a baseball game than in a film studio.
