A Bird’s Neck for Lunch is a story of homecoming and horror set in Ballaban, Albania. Angel, our narrator, returns to Albania to enact a ritual intended to connect them to their homeland. One day, while traversing the mountains, Angel comes across a sculpted sacrifice that both offers answers and prompts new questions about Albanian identity, lore, violence, rural life, and the many faces of God.

A Bird’s Neck For Lunch is the book version of a larger multidisciplinary work called DOG/GOD. It includes digital and analog photographs taken over the course of three years in rural Albania.
