From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Carolyn Chute (born in 1947) is an American writer and populist political activist strongly identified with the culture of poor, rural western Maine.
Chute is known most for her first novel, The Beans of Egypt, Maine (1985). After that came Letourneau's Used Auto Parts (1988), Merry Men (1994) and Snow Man (1999).
The last book deals with the underground militia movement, something that Chute has devoted more of her time to in recent years. She is currently the leader of a group known as the Second Maine Militia, and she speaks publicly about class issues in America.
Chute lives in North Parsonsfield, Maine, near the New Hampshire border. She is married to Michael Chute and has a daughter named Joannah, as well as several grandchildren.
