Product Information

A journalists provocative and spellbinding account of her eighteen months spent disguised as a man Norah Vincent became an instant media sensation with the publication of "Self-Made Man," her take on just how hard it is to be a man, even in a mans world. Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin ("Black Like Me"), Norah spent a year and a half disguised as her male alter ego, Ned, exploring what men are like when women arent around. As Ned, she joins a bowling team, takes a high-octane sales job, goes on dates with women (and men), visits strip clubs, and even manages to infiltrate a monastery and a mens therapy group. At once thought- provoking and pure fun to read, "Self-Made Man" is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Quite an Eye-opener for Women

    I thought this would be a funny book with lots of quips about men. Instead it is a thoughtful text full of insight into the difficulties of being a man in today's world. The author is a lesbian, so didn't have the usual axes to grind that we heterosexual women may acquire after a life of trying to figure out the "opposite" sex. But there is no opposite sex -- only the other sex. And if women and men could understand each other's world a little better, we might get along better. I would recommend this book highly to anyone. My only criticism is that the author seems to have missed how deeply the sex industry's concept of women harms all of us.
