Reviews
A thoughtful, entertaining piece of first-person investigative journalism . . . Self-Made Man transcends its premise altogether. . . . So rich and so audacious . . . [I was] hooked from Page 1. (David Kamp, The New York Times Book Review ) Vincent's account of how she 'became' a man is undeniably fascinating." ( Los Angeles Times Book World ) Eye-opening . . . Self-Made Man will make many women think twice about coveting male 'privilege' and make any man feel grateful that his gender is better understood. ( The Washington Post ) [Vincent] can be as perspicuous and exact as Joan Didion or Gloria Steinem at nailing a hitherto disregarded truth about the sexes in a single elegant and witty phrase. . . . This is a brave and often fascinating book, with Vincent . . . offering us perspectives that are entirely fresh and new. ( The Times ,London)

Synopsis
A journalist's 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 man's 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 aren't 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 men's 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. ", Narrated with exquisite insight, humor, and empathy, the author uses her firsthand experience--the 18 months she masqueraded as a man--to explore the many remarkable mysteries of gender identity., Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin ("Black Like Me") and Barbara Ehrenreich ("Nickel and Dimed"), Norah Vincent absorbed a cultural experience and reported back on what she observed incognito. For more than a year and a half she ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five oclock shadow, a crew cut, wire-rim glasses, and her own size 111/2 shoesa perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. The result is a sympathetic, shrewd, and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism thats destined to challenge preconceptions and attract enormous attention. With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie undetectable to an outsider. A stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut- wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed. She frequented sex clubs, dated women hungry for love but bitter about men, and infiltrated all-male communities as hermetically sealed as a mens therapy group, and even a monastery. Narrated in her utterly captivating prose style and with exquisite insight, humor, empathy, nuance, and at great personal cost, Norah uses her intimate firsthand experience to explore the many remarkable mysteries of gender identity as well as who men are apart from and in relation to women. Far from becoming bitter or outraged, Vincent ended her journey astoundedand exhaustedby the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity. Having gone where no woman (who wasnt an aspiring or actual transsexual) has gone for any significant length of time, let alone eighteen months, Norah Vincents surprising account is an enthralling reading experience and arevelatory piece of anecdotally based gender analysis that is sure to spark fierce and fascinating conversation. Praise for Norah Vincent: Norah Vincent is a true freethinker and independent journalist in the European manner, challenging prevailing assumptions in academe, politics, and media. Her work has always had a bold skepticism and energy. She is a model of pragmatic, enlightened feminism. Camille Paglia, Following in the tradition of Black Like Me and Nickel and Dimed, Norah Vincent absorbed a cultural experience and reported back on what she observed incognito. For more than a year and a half she ventured into the world as Ned and observed the world of men as an insider. The result is this sympathetic, shrewd and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism that's destined to challenge preconceptions and attract enormous attention.

  • Interesting read on a unusual social experiment . . .

    I just started reading this book a couple of weeks ago in the few bits of spare time I get between work, wife and kids. Although I'm only about halfway through, I've cheated a little bit and skipped ahead here and there to read certain portions, so I've actually read alot of the book, albeit somewhat out of order. I actually heard about this book when Good Morning America did an interview of the author. It sounded vaguely interesting then, so when I found a good price on E-bay, I picked it up to read later. From a man's point of view, there's nothing terribly new or revealing in what the author learned about us (men) during her time disguised as a man - like she says, it's all stuff that you just learn about being a guy as you grow from a kid to an adult. However, it's fascinating to ...

  • Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent

    The author was interviewed on TV and I had been aware of this project ever since. I have only one reservation and it is a personal one, otherwise I would rate it Excellent. I would have preferred no disclosure. Except in very rare cases, would have liked to see Mr. Vincent disappear from the lives of the people she touched, with no personal admission. Then again, those people were indeed changed at that time and for that reason. I am going back to change my rating to Excellent, in the name of fairness. Ms. Vincent is a dogged reporter and good writer. A.A., NY

  • read-this

    I heard an interview with Ms. Vincent on talk radio and was intrigued so I bought the book. Excellent read! I knew that there are vast differences between men and women but not like Ms. Vincent experienced. What she shares should influence society so that we can learn to enjoy the differences and stop trying to change them. I was sad at the end because of her experience there. I saw her on Conan (sp), late-night teevee, she was amazing, great sense of humor, descriptive of her experience without giving away the book!

  • Great read

    This was a fun book to read. The author explores her world in a creative way, and although it brings to the surface some important issues in modern society between men and women, the book is not a bore to read at all. It really makes you think and consider others around you in a more considerate way. Although it's by no means a "bible" to live by, it's an interesting read that makes you think.

  • Eye opening!!!

    I bought this book to read for a book report in my psychology class. It is one of the best books in the field of Gonzo journalism!!! Her insight to both male and female perspectives was truly eye opening! It is a must read! You find out why this book is so controversial because she gives the feminists (herself included) a good thrashing!
