On the face of it Cathedral is most akin to Henderson's Tower: Faith,
Vertigo and Amateur Construction (FSG), a Thoreau-esque chronicle of
building a tall structure on the grounds of his hilltop property in
Maine. But Cathedral is more overtly a spiritual memoir like his Simple
Gifts: One Man's Search for Grace (S&S), a tribute to the pleasures of
singing hymns.
Like all his books, Cathedral is equal parts wisdom, self-deprecation,
laughs, aching honesty, and inspiration. And, like his cathedral itself,
it is lovingly constructed.
