She started to read the novels herself-books about abandonment, kidnapping, and more. At the same time, Feinberg noticed that in her 7-year-old daughter's classroom, children were learning to write but they could write about only what was "real." What was going on? Feinberg wondered. Why were children being forced to be such realists? What was happening to the role of stories and the imagination? Welcome to Lizard Motel explores these issues and more in one of the most surprising and original books about reading and writing to come along.

He writes with such wonderful manners, learning, and detachment."--William F. Buckley Jr. "In the dry and sterile landscape of today's public discourse, in which invective and ideology substitute for logic and original thought, Yoder continues to stand apart. Elegant in his command of the language, eloquent in his reasoning, wide-ranging in his explorations of our shared existence, he is the beau ideal of the world of journalistic letters. Read and be refreshed."--Hodding Carter III.
