Read by Barrie Kreinik

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. Copyright (c) Norah Vincent 2006. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Recorded by arrangement with Viking, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC. v
