About this listen

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), 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 listen to, Self-Made Man is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.

This audiobook is expertly read by Barrie Kreink. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
