Synopsis:
This is a provocative and spellbinding account of a journalists attempt to understand the minds of men. Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin ("Black Like Me") and Barbara Ehnreich ("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 - the perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. The result is this sympathetic, shrewd and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism that is destined to challenge many of society's preconceptions. Having experienced, from an insider perspective, bowling league camaraderie, the gut-wrenching pressures of a high-octane sales job, sex clubs, women hungry for love but bitter about men and all-male monasteries, for over 18 months, Vincent is perhaps the most qualified woman to expose the inner workings of the modern male. With her utterly captivating prose and her exquisite humour, empathy and nuance, Norah uses her intimate firsthand experiences to explore the many remarkable mysteries of gender identity.

Having gone where no women have gone before, "Self Made Man" is an enthralling reading experience and a revelatory piece of anecdotally-based gender analysis.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. A journalists provocative and spellbinding account of her eighteen months spent disguised as a manNorah 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. Seller Inventory # DADAX0670034665
