À propos de cet audio

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

You get the feeling she had them all pegged wrong from the start. Assuming men were just women who pee’d standing up. For me, it was when she outed herself she saw the men she came to know. She always assumed the worst would happen but each time they embraced the human they came to love. She gets a lot of hate from women and respect from men for this book. So let that tell you all you need to know. I like the way she basically says we each exist in parallel worlds.
