My life as a man

Dressed in drag, Norah Vincent visited strip clubs and dated women to find out what it means to be a man. She ended up in the loony bin.

    Thanks for a good review.

    Dear Mr. O'Hehir,

    Thank you for writing the kind of review that should be written: one that takes the book seriously, argues with it at points, and puts it in the context of the sweep of ideas in the broader culture. I may not read Mrs. Vincent's book, but thanks to your review I've had the chance to think deeply about the issues it raises and to give due consideration to reading it.
