Review:
"[A] thoughtful, diligent, entertaining piece of first-person investigative journalism."
David Kamp, New York Times Book Review, 01/21/2006
Review:"If you're picking up on an undertone of empathy with the hairier sex, you're right. This isn't a we-are-the-world book in which Vincent rejoices in our common humanity. It's too subtle for that, too smart and too honest."
Lev Grossman, Time, 01/30/2006

Self-Made Man (ISBN: 0670034665 / 0-670-03466-5) Vincent, Norah Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Viking Press, 2006. Hardcover. Book Condition: Brand New. 8vo - over 7.75" - 9.75" tall. Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 290 pages. 9.00 x 6.30 x 1.00 in. 17.6 oz. A Los Angeles Times columnist recounts her eighteen-month undercover stint as a man, a time during which she underwent considerable personal risks as she worked a sales job, joined a bowling league, frequented sex clubs, dated, and encountered firsthand the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity. For more than a year and a half Vincent ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five o'clock shadow and a crew cut--a perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie; 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 including a men's therapy group and even a monastery. She ended her journey astounded--and exhausted--by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity.--From publisher description. [A] thoughtful, diligent, entertaining piece of first-person investigative journalism. -- New York Times Book Review - David Kamp (01/22/2006) -- If you're picking up on an undertone of empathy with the hairier sex, you're right. This isn't a we-are-the-world book in which Vincent rejoices in our common humanity. It's too subtle for that, too smart and too honest. -- Time - Lev Grossman (01/30/2006). Remainder.
