À propos de cet audio

In this thought-provoking short, #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Jodi Picoult explores a dystopian crisis through the pinhole lens of an ex-couple experiencing an unwanted pregnancy.

Please note: This content is intended for adults only. It features themes of pregnancy loss that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

Margot and James are broken up—for good this time. James made sure of it when he dropped the bomb on Margot: that he doesn’t want kids, ever.

Then, on the biggest morning of his life, James—an ambitious lawyer at a high-powered firm—wakes up pregnant. He realizes with dread that he is part of a recent epidemic of men suddenly and inexplicably becoming pregnant. His condition obvious to the higher-ups, James is denied the promotion he was expecting, sending him reeling.

Meanwhile, Margot, a social worker, must handle the influx of desperate, pregnant teenage boys suddenly seeking her help. When she receives a call from James with the same problem, the challenge of navigating post-Roe America hits even closer to home.

Short little story about when the unexpected happens. Shoe on the other foot, changes would happen then.

That would be something!

Finally! Putting it in terms that any human can understand. Making cis men understand the cost. Our bodies. Our choice.

Brilliant! Should be mandatory to listen to/read in schools

This topsy turvy perspective of women’s reality puts the patriarchy in its rightful place. I wish everyone could read this!

Obviously this couldn’t happen but interesting concept! Walking in another persons shoes is all that this requires to understand.

Great concept, well read. I would love a longer version, but appreciate what Jodi Picoult was trying.to do with this one. Well executed and engaging, and even though it's impossible, it didn't seem that way. Very inclusive and eye-opeining.

Thought-provoking
