Set in Cooperstown, New York—home of James Fenimore Cooper and baseball's Hall of Fame—The Sugarhouse recalls a simpler time in America when friendships were unqualified, peccadilloes were overlooked, and tradition defined the cornerstone of society. Donald O'Donovan takes us on a charming and sentimental trip back to a world of homespun characters, fertile fishing ponds, innocent love, and, at the center of it all, the town's much-loved house of ill repute, the Sugarhouse.

Excerpts from four novels by Donald O'Donovan accompany the novella, including Orgasmo, Night Train, Confessions of a Bedbug Hauler and Tarantula Woman.
