À propos de cette écoute

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.

    J’ai aimé ce renversement de situation bien sûr et surtout la façon très condensée d’évoquer ce que vivent les femmes par rapport à la grossesse. Je suis une femme, concernée par le sujet évidemment, mais ce texte est tellement percutant que j’ai eu le sentiment de ne pas avoir vraiment compris l’ampleur du sujet avant. Merci d’avoir mis ce texte à disposition gratuitement. J’espère qu’il sera traduit en français pour le faire écouter à mon fils.

    Très efficace

    This book is truly eye-opening. By reversing the roles of men and women when it comes to pregnancy and the social, and emotional consequences surrounding it, the author powerfully highlights the injustices that women often face in real life. Seeing men subjected to the same judgment, control, and lack of autonomy that women regularly experience forces the reader to confront these issues from a new perspective.

    Provoking read
