And the article, it was a little paragraph or two, it ended with \u2018poor Matthew Klam.\u2019\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Casper, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@MatthewKlam\nmatthewklam.com\n[01:00] Sam the Cat: and Other Stories (Vintage \u2022 2001)\n[01:00] Who Is Rich?: A Novel (Random House \u2022 2017)\n[01:45] Doree Shafrir on Longform\n[01:45] Elif Batuman on Longform\n[02:00] readthissummer.com\n[03:00] "Matthew Klam\u2019s New Book Is Only 17 Years Overdue" (Taffy Brodesser-Akner \u2022 Vulture \u2022 Jul 2017)\n[03:15] "Experiencing Ecstasy" (New York Times Magazine \u2022 Jan 2001)\n[04:15] "Sam the Cat" (New Yorker \u2022 May 1993) [sub req\u2019d]\n[05:30] "What Do You Think of Ted Williams Now?"
