The author of the award winning novel So far so good, telling the story of the Mašín Brothers in the fifties (Magnesia Litera 2004), re-established a collaboration with Aura-Pont. The agency will represent mainly his plays - among others Alaska (produced in 1994 at the Theatre Husa na provázku) and the texts that were not yet produced in the Czech Republic: Faust Has a Stomach Ache (1996, 2006) and Spring and Sperms (1993, 2006). His Ax Murder in St.Petersburg, a dramatization of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment not yet translated into Czech, was produced (as Vražda sekerou v Svätom Petěrburku) at the theatre Astorka Korzo´90 in Bratislava and nominated for The Play of the Year 2000 in Slovakia.
Jan Novák is also involved in the new translation project of Václav Havel's 1960s plays with a new American translation of The Garden Party. He also added recently The Protest to his translations of the one-acts The Audience and The Private View from the 80s. He translated David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross into Czech. Aura-Pont is also ready to help interested parties with the publication rights of older novels by Novák and to handle the rights to his unproduced screenplays.
