The Binoculars

The Binoculars · a cover motif reimagined as an object to examine up close.

On the cover of The House Across the Street, the motif is identified as “The Binoculars.” She knows her neighbor is going to die, and every attempt to save her brings the tragedy closer.

The motif, its illustration, and its appearances can be compared. A resemblance proves neither that the same object has traveled nor that two stories share a continuity.
