He said he has shied away until now from speaking out on the "false and salacious allegations" against him to protect his children. Period," Lauer wrote. Old stories are being recycled, titillating details are being added, and a dangerous and defamatory new allegation is being made. All are being spread as part of a promotional effort to sell a book. So, after not speaking out to protect my children, it is now with their full support I say 'enough. She continued: "There's the Matt Lauer that millions of Americans watched on TV every morning for two decades, and there is the Matt Lauer who this morning attempted to bully a former colleague into silence.
His open letter was a case study in victim blaming. Teitler wrote. He will live with that forever.

There Should Be a Name for It - 22 pp - A young co-habiting couple very much in love had to deal with getting pregnant. The man wasn't ready and talked his girlfriend into getting an abortion. An argument that erupts while they're preparing a chicken dinner -- with the uncooked chicken feeling like a representation of the unborn baby -- makes it clear how upset the woman still is over what they did. While they remain together, it becomes clear the decision they made will continue to color their relationship. Issues I Dealt With in Therapy - 48 pp - A young man travels with his doctor girlfriend to a lavish resort for the wedding of his good friend.

While the narrator still has a small-time job as an activist at a "nonprofit that attacked the military-industrial complex," the narrator can't help but feel jealous that his friend has accomplished so much more than he has, even though he sees the emptiness in his friend's life. The friend's main preoccupation during the weekend is whether Al Gore will helicopter in for the weekend and leave his friends duly impressed with how important and connected he is.
The narrator's jealousy reaches a boiling point when he has to give a toast to the friend during the rehearsal dinner. While dealing with all this, the narrator also has to sort through the mixed feelings he has about the doctor he's involved with, whom he hardly ever sees because of the demands of her career. European Wedding - 51 pp - A man flies to France to get married in a house that was in his future mother-in-law's family for centuries. The man has such deep misgivings about the wedding he sleeps with an overweight woman he has a business association with and who repulses him the night before he has to leave for France.
Once at the family home in the French countryside, he is surrounded by women - mothers, sisters, cousins. All the men, who were scheduled to arrive later, get stranded in the United States because of a hurricane. The only other man on the premises is an older gentleman who suspects he may by the bride's biological father because he slept with the bride's mother when her husband was dying.

Knowing nothing of this, but chasing her own demons, the bride keeps quizzing this man, looking for some tortured history about the house and her mother's family. She half hopes to discover her family might have been Nazi sympathizers, in the strained hope that such a legacy could explain why she is so unhappy. Surrounded by family, neither the bride nor the groom feels ready to take on the big adventure they both have deep reservations about. May 15, Sean Carman rated it really liked it.
Klam writes in an original and thoroughly enjoyable voice. His loose style brilliantly captures the way people think, the way they use language, and the way they tell stories.

That's the attraction of this collection, and it's enough to make it a truly enjoyable read. That and the forbidden, voyeuristic thrill of eavesdropping on the base, misogynistic observations of Klam's narrators, of course. But as Patrick Faller suggested in his review track down it down on this site if you can , Klam's Klam writes in an original and thoroughly enjoyable voice. But as Patrick Faller suggested in his review track down it down on this site if you can , Klam's characters are clearly broken -- desperate for but also afraid of intimacy, driven by but also hateful of their self-destructive desires -- they hide their brokenness as much from the reader as from themselves.
They never yearn for anything in particular. Instead they wallow in their frustrations, complaining about what they have but rarely lamenting any specific loss, or truly reckoning with who they are or what they've done. This gives the stories despite how entertaining they are, and despite how amazing Klam's writing is a slight feel. I have high hopes for Klam's upcoming novel. These stories, which are brilliant but only slightly imperfect, give it the potential to be great.
Oct 18, Megan Jones rated it liked it. Honestly, this can't even be a fair review reading it after the awesomely edgy work of Jonathan Ames. I loved Ames because of his honesty - brutal, in-your-face truth. That what I was expecting of Klam's work - an examination of real life, the honest truth behind so many typical American people. Maybe A. Homes style from the male perspective. Nope, what I got was a work about ordinary people, in ordinary situations, little climax, little humor - just the mundane life I live each day.
And as Honestly, this can't even be a fair review reading it after the awesomely edgy work of Jonathan Ames. And as reading I can't help but wonder if my ordinary life is a bit more exciting than these characters' lives. Also, I echo another reviewer who commented that all the narrators of each short story sound the same. They do. And if he wanted to have them all be the same narrator, no problem, but then it might lend itself better to a novel, but for a novel, the issue of little climax might then be a huge issue.
Ok, enough complaining. I guess this book came highly acclaimed so I was a bit let down. Otherwise it was a fair book, so I gave it a fair rating. That's it View 2 comments.
Feb 19, heather rated it it was ok. Once review I read here said that it was hard to read straight through, since the narrators sounded similar. I'd have to agree. I know better than to read most short story collections straight through, but I'm laid up right now. Many readers here commented on the misogynistic characters; I guess that is not entirely inaccurate. I saw the narrators as feeling trapped in horrible lives and hating themselves, and it just came out on women--of whom the men expected some sort of salvation.
For what Once review I read here said that it was hard to read straight through, since the narrators sounded similar. For what it's worth, all of the women characters in the stories are horrible, too. However, I like short story collections where the voices of narrators sound unique, and separate, even if the writing style is consistent--even if I still can't read it straight through. I think it comes down to personal preference; this isn't my bag. Which I feel bad for saying, because the author is a friend of a friend, and heavily involved with a group I'm involved in.
He seems like a really nice guy. Jul 13, Vanessa Wu rated it liked it. I picked this up second-hand. It was published in It has 6 rainbow-coloured condoms on the front, still in their wrappers and 3 on the back no longer in their wrappers, possibly used. For this reason I give it 3 stars. If all six condoms had been used it would have got 5 stars, because 5 is the max.
This gives you an idea of the kind of blokish insights and humour to expect. Is this fashionable? Maybe it was eleven years ago. Maybe not even then. It's written in colloquial American, which I picked this up second-hand. It's written in colloquial American, which means the sentences are short and many of them contain words like fucknob, asshole, goddamn and aborto.
Yes, I know the last one is Spanish, I'm not a fucknob. I guess this means it's literary fiction. One of these stories appeared in the New Yorker, which kind of seals it. I didn't dislike it but next time I will be more careful about what I pick up.

But aside from that—America circa , as described here, is utterly unrecognizable, a foreign country.

Matt Lauer Apologizes; Claims Some Stories Are “Untrue”
Jul 16, D rated it did not like it. Oddly enough, I picked up this book after listening to an old reading by Sarah Vowell.
So, admittedly, I had rather high expectations. I was not prepared for the misogynistic fluff of Sam the Cat, and other stories. From the perspective from a womanizing, possibly gay guy, it was a curious blend. And I kept hoping the stories would improve. Yet, the didn't. Klam must have other redeeming qualities I've Oddly enough, I picked up this book after listening to an old reading by Sarah Vowell. Klam must have other redeeming qualities I've yet to discover.
