In this episode of Pride and Podcasts, Han and Dan discuss Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel—a haunting, tender novel about motherhood, choice, and the ethics of care. Set in Mexico City, Nettel’s story follows two women navigating the decision to have—or not have—children, raising profound questions: What does it mean to become a mother? What do we owe the children we bring into the world—or those we care for? What role do societal expectations play in motherhood? Han and Dan unpack the novel’s emotional depth, exploring maternal ambivalence, friendship, and what it means to care beyond biology.
