“Novak, a gifted teller who regularly performs at festivals around the country, enhances his stories with a bag of tricks. His fluid voice can become a dozen different characters. He sometimes takes out a looped string and turns cat’s cradle tangles into antlers, beards and other costumes for his protagonists.” Smithsonian Magazine
