Podwal is the author of ten of his own illustrated books, which include The Decline and Fall of American Empire (1971); Freud’s da Vinci (1977); A Book of Hebrew Letters (1978); A Jewish Bestiary (1985); The Book of Tens (1994); Golem: A Giant Made of Mud (1995); The Menorah Story (1998); Jerusalem Sky (2005). As an illustrator he has collaborated with a number of renowned writers including Elie Wiesel, Cynthia Ozick, Francine Prose and Harold Bloom. He has received numerous awards, both in the United States and internationally, and in 1993 was decorated a Knight and in 1996 an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Française). Podwal collaborated with Academy Award winning filmmaker Allan Miller on a documentary about the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague.
