The Woman-Haters Joseph C Lincoln

The Woman-Haters by Joseph C. Lincoln is set along a fictional bit of the Cape Cod coastline, in a lighthouse and a nearby shack. The title is unusual for one of Lincoln's books and very dated. It's there to evoke similar feelings as The Odd Couple. Nowadays it might be called Confirmed Bachelors. The author in the introduction describes the book as a yarn or a summer-farce comedy. Essentially it's a screwball comedy, but written twenty years before the term was coined to describe a certain type of romantic comedy by Hollywood.
