Every real tower is impractical.
Impracticality is, Henderson adds, no reason at all not to build a tower of one's own, the local zoning restrictions be damned. But Tower is about much more than mere edifice-building. It is also a highly charged spiritual memoir, in the course of which Henderson rekindles faith, not only in God but also in himself and his ever-tolerant loved ones. He is, as we learn, and that's inspiration enough for the rest of us to start putting up castles, windmills, spires and other artful constructions for no good reason at all. Tucson Weekly .
