Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (\u003ci\u003eBlack Like Me\u003c\/i\u003e), Vincent 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 joined a bowling team, took a high-octane sales job, went on dates with women (and men), visited strip clubs, and even managed to infiltrate a monastery and a men's therapy group. At once thought-provoking and pure fun to read, \u003ci\u003eSelf-Made Man\u003c\/i\u003e is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorah Vincent\u003c\/b\u003e (1968-2022) was the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the nonfiction books \u003ci\u003eSelf-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eVoluntary Madness: Lost and Found in the Mental Healthcare System\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as two works of fiction: \u003ci\u003eThy Neighbor\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAdeline: A Novel of Virginia Woolf\u003c\/i\u003e.
