"Every turning point begins with a story that refuses to stay silent." — Anonymous
Welcome to the November 2025 edition of Storizen Magazine! This month, our theme "The Turning Point" invites you to pause, reflect, and recognize those pivotal moments—both quiet and seismic—that shape who we become. These turning points guide us toward new beginnings, new perspectives, and new narratives.
Our cover story, "Stories Rooted in City and Soul," features the renowned Harini Nagendra, whose work brilliantly captures the pulse of cities and the ecological, social, and emotional stories woven into their foundations. In an insightful conversation, she reflects on the intimate relationship between people and the places they inhabit—how cities shape us, and how we, in turn, leave our imprint on them.
We also bring you a thoughtful interview with acclaimed translator Sholeh Wolpé, who shares her insights on language, emotion, and the art of carrying a poet’s soul across borders. This issue also brings you 53 enriching book reviews, spanning diverse genres—from literary fiction to investigative non-fiction, from heartfelt memoirs to riveting thrillers. Whether you're seeking a thoughtful read for reflection or a gripping escape into another world, our curated selection offers something for every reader.
As you turn the pages of this issue, may you discover the turning points in stories, characters, and ideas that resonate with your own journey. Here's to embracing change, growth, and the stories that lead us forward.
Storizen Magazine November 2025 Issue is Live Now!
