Missouri Williams's second novel, "The Vivisectors," follows Agathe, a cynical young woman in a decaying university town, as she navigates family trauma, employment, and an unexpected romance with a graduate student named Adam. The work deploys a campus romance plot beneath layers of gothic imagery and social commentary on identity, academia, and climate crisis.
