As we approach Thanksgiving, our writers have been hard at work writing stories. This month, our feature story accounts for continued difficulties traveling as a result of the pandemic, so we’ve made some recommendations for nearby road trip destinations in case anyone has the urge to hit the open road for the upcoming long weekend. We also have brought back all of our past favorite sections, from Community Voices to WATA (“What Akshay’s Thinking About”). Verbatim’s November 2021 edition is filled with exciting topics including the nonidentity problem, a food review at Lisa’s Radial Cafe, and reviews of Dune, new music from Adele, and a classic of American poetry that’s just turned 20. As always, feel free to reach out to our Instagram, @btverbatim, with any story ideas or Dear Susie question requests.
