The Vivisectors 2026
The Vivisectors is a 2026 novel written by English author Missouri Williams. This marks Williams's second book, after her Republic of Consciousness Prize-winning first novel The Doloriad. The manuscript attracted an eight-way bidding war among publishers in 2024.
Vulture named it one of the most anticipated novels of 2026. Critics have labeled it a fresh take on love stories for our time of declining communication and a peculiar campus narrative. Williams herself states that the novel continues her examination of families as isolated worlds, a recurring theme throughout her writing career.
