About The Vivisectors

A reclusive graduate student is forced into a friendship that destabilizes her life in this surreal, allegorical romance. In a famed but crumbling university city overrun by nature, where power is held in a fragile balance between academics and a contingent of rogue gardeners, the reclusive narrator spends her days propping up the career of her needy and fraudulent professor boss. Then a controversy ruptures her careful routine when a contrarian student comes into heated conflict with a young professor. But when her boss commands her to befriend the student, the narrator finds herself both caught up in the events threatening to tear the city apart and increasingly drawn to the alluring young man at the heart of it all.
