    About this ebook

    THE SOUL MATE EXPEDITIONS

    * Have you ever put up 100 posters on a busy city street trying to contact the woman whose phone number you'd lost?
    * Have you ever buried a beloved friend in the sand dunes near the Atlantic Ocean, fulfilling a request in his Last Will?
    * Have you ever had an experimental microchip implanted in your brain for the purpose of capturing moving images of your actual dreams?
    * Have you ever visited the Social Security offices in New York City and had your age changed?
    * Have you ever been trapped in traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel for over an hour, desperately needing to urinate?
    * Have you ever wondered what souls actually look like?

    These are just a few of the compelling and remarkable stories you will find in the collection you are now holding, or possibly staring at on a tablet. Lyle Greenfield's unmistakable "voice" will remain with you long after you've turned the last page and said "What the..?"

    Praise for The Soul Mate Expeditions

    "Greenfield's is a voice that ranges from the absurd to the profound, sometimes translating into the absurdly profound and/or the profoundly absurd—always with a measure of self-deprecation. His wry tone, however, does not conceal his empathy for the human condition and caring for the arts. He now gives us The Soul Mate Expeditions, a collection of musings and stories that paint a vivid picture of the mind of a writer I've known for 20-plus years."
    Robert Goldrich, Editor, SHOOT

    "Lyle puts the lip in solipsism. And yet his stories, mostly about a time and place not so long ago, are soulful indeed."
    David E. Rattray, Editor, The East Hampton Star

    "Cleansing my brain of this tragic modern world, I was engaged, provoked and at times laughing out loud to myself... and my dog. Turn off your phone, crack open the window and take the flight of fancy that is Lyle Greenfield's writing."

      La Bohème

      Mar 1, 2022

      ON A SATURDAY or Sunday afternoon in the cold early months of 1988, I sat alone at a table for two in a Greenwich Village diner, twenty-four years old, hopelessly young, my notebook open in front of me. At the table next to mine were three people, al

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      You can’t go home again, I reminded myself as the bus glided across the last stretch of highway and entered the Yakima Valley. All around me was brown earth—the land yawning back to life, hills stretching with relief from the snow packs that weighed
