6. The SALON Features: Carolyn Chute's Wicked Good Militia
   The author of The Beans of Egypt, Maine is leading an army of grave, silent woodsmen in a backwoods campaign against corporate greed. By Dwight Garner.  
   http://www.salon.com/08/features/maine.html
   
   Extractions: campaign against corporate greed NORTH PARSONFIELD, Me. W ell, at least one debate is finally settled: Carolyn Chute novelist, wry Earth Mother, accidental militia leader has this election year's fiercest and funniest stump speech. Pat Buchanan may want a "lock and load" foreign policy; Chute invites her admirers to bring their guns back to her place to "plunk away at dog food cans" and "smell the stink of sulfur." Lamar Alexander may tinkle away half-heartedly on upright pianos; Chute leads her gathered through a vigorously subversive rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" that includes stanzas such as "This land is Wal-Mart's! ... This land is Exxon's!" and that ruefully concludes: "This land weren't made for you and me." Steve Forbes may peddle his flat tax; Chute is for flattening greedy corporations, and she draws whoops and cheers with homely, old-fashioned similes. "A corporation is like a bad chair," she proclaims to the 100 or so people who have packed a remote former schoolhouse in this rural Maine town to hear her. "You sit on it, and if it pokes you in the ass, you throw it away." Welcome to the spirited second meeting of Chute's 2nd Maine Militia, a loosely-organized and decidedly non-partisan group of pro-gun, anti-big business citizens that just may give American politics a much-needed poke in the ass.

   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Carolyn Chute (born Carolyn Penny , June 14, 1947) is an American writer and populist political activist strongly identified with the culture of poor, rural western Maine Chute's first, and best known, novel, The Beans of Egypt, Maine , was published in 1985 and made into a 1994 film of the same name, directed by Jennifer Warren. Chute's next two books, Letourneau's Used Auto Parts (1988) and Merry Men (1994), are also set in the town of Egypt, Maine. Her 1999 novel Snow Man deals with the underground militia movement, something that Chute has devoted more of her time to in recent years. She was the leader of a group which was known as the Second Maine Militia and is a fierce defender of the Second Amendment , keeping an AK-47 and a small cannon at her home in Maine. Chute also speaks out publicly about class issues in America and publishes "The Fringe," a monthly collection of in-depth political journalism , short stories, and intellectual commentary on current events. She once ran a satiric campaign for governor of Maine.

   Extractions: BACK DOWN TO EARTH by Carolyn Chute This is another in a series of guest columns that examine the forging of public policy in the nation's capital. Carolyn Chute has written "The Beans of Egypt, Maine," "Letourneau's Used Auto Parts" and, most recently, "Merry Men." The next column, by Neil Rolde, an author and former state legislator, is scheduled for Aug. 20. Congress, we were told when we were in our formative years, is where the senators and representatives go to represent us. We live in a democracy which means when it comes to the sovereign power of our government, we are that power. Not a king. Not a queen. Not a dictator. But us, THE PEOPLE. Through our votes we have our voice. And through our freedom of speech and the rights to assemble and to petition. Meanwhile, rich folk were paying income taxes and property taxes like the rest of us and life went on. real welfare, goes to corporations instead of your family or neighbors when they need it. Your grown kids can't afford a house. Lucky if they can afford a camper. (But then try living in a camper and the government will fine you.) I have a solution. Hear me out. Shut off the TV a minute. Listen. I would like to see the doors to Congress locked. For 10 years. Yes with our elected officials inside. They can't get out. We'll keep them comfortable. Lots of nice foods. Music. Movies. The ballet. Comedians. Big bands. Big orgies if they want. I don't care what they do in there. As long as MEGATROPOLIS INSURANCE MUTUAL AND TRUST and DUOTRON FOODS and MATRIX COMMUNICATIONS and CHEVASAKI AUTO and MONSANTDUPONZINCMECURICO CORP. can't get in.

    Extractions: literary calendar authors in town events by location reviews ... hot links SNOW MAN, by Carolyn Chute. Harcourt Brace, 242 pages, $23. In Snow Man , Carolyn Chute advocates for a constituency rarely represented in literary novels. Her hero, Robert Drummond, is a white, working-class militia member with a swastika tattoo. Pro-gun above all else, Drummond has just assassinated US Senator Kip Davies and has fallen, wounded, into the protective arms of Kristy Creighton, the daughter of another senator, an Edward Kennedy-type liberal from Massachusetts. Even though Kristy, a Radcliffe graduate, grew up in a big house with live-in servants, she can't help but fall in love with the proletarian Robert. For despite their many differences, he is the first man she has ever seen with a "long, uncircumcised penis," a detail the author mentions repeatedly and clearly considers a major plot point. Oh, and she is also motivated by her opposition to the death penalty, which surely awaits him once he is arrested. Chute, who herself belongs to what she describes as a "no-wing" militia group, is careful in her author's note to explain that this is not a left-wing or a right-wing book, but a book about class as Drummond says, "You're either up or you're

19. The Plausible And The Implausible In Carolyn Chute's Snow Man
    A book review by Sandy English.  
    http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/dec1999/snow-d03.shtml
    
    Extractions: 3 December 1999 Snow Man Carolyn Chute published her first novel, The Beans of Egypt, Maine in 1985, and its sequel, Letourneau's Used Auto Parts , in 1988. These were important novels: it seemed that without any sentimentality whatsoever, Chute was able to depict the concerns for love and happiness of the working poor at a particular time (the Reagan/Bush years) and place (rural Maine). The novels told about families of all sorts, stable and decaying ones, families made up of two people and families that stretched the biological definition of the term. The pinch of poverty and denial could be felt everywhere in these books, and the strain on the emotions under it. Chute played with the wicked variety of life among a group of people that readers hardly ever read about. These first novels of Chute's flowed unabashedly and honestly from her own life. There was unquestionably a spontaneous relation of the author to the material. As she said at the time of publication of
