Told in a stream-of-consciousness narrative, this is a story of obsession. Against the advice of his builder, the Dean of Salisbury Cathedral, slowly dying from tuberculosis, plans the construction of a towering spire atop the cathedral as the culmination of his life’s work but becomes increasingly deranged as the construction faces constant problems due to the sheer grandiosity of the work.
Not sure what to say about this book, except that it reminded me a bit of [b:Malone Dies|12279|Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable (The Trilogy, #1-3)|Samuel Beckett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1414373759l/12279.SY75.jpg|75749], which I re-read last year. Perhaps I should reread it to find out what I missed.
