Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"A riveting, honest and unvarnished voice that sounds like no one else?s." Los Angeles Times
Review:
"Repeatedly nails the fragile braggadocio of the modern American male....Each story takes on a memorable life of its own, thanks to Klam?s...ability to find the perfect word or phrase." San Francisco Chronicle
Review:
"A knockout. [Klam] seems to have tapped right into the heads of certain men, none of whom you want courting your daughter." Portland Oregonian
Review:
"[W]hat opens up before the reader of Matthew Klam...are the enduring comedy and essential sweetness of his work....He does not traffic much in sustained fury or hate — a difficult accomplishment for comic writers — and is, oddly, frequently interested in justice." Lorrie Moore, The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis:
"The New Yorker" named Klam one of the 20 best young writers in America, and the seven stories that comprise "Sam the Cat" are all the proof readers will need. These stories crackle with humor, intelligence, and style and add up to an outrageously funny debut.
