Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (\u003ci\u003eBlack Like Me\u003c\/i\u003e), 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, \u003ci\u003eSelf-Made Man\u003c\/i\u003e is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.Self-Made Man1.
