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. 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, Self-Made Man is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.
Norah Vincent (1968-2022) was the New York Times bestselling author of the nonfiction books Self-Made Man and Voluntary Madness, as well as two works of fiction: Thy Neighbor and Adeline. Formerly an op-ed columnist for the Los Angeles Times, she was a long-time resident of New York City.
