   Extractions: AN INTERVIEW WITH CAROLYN CHUTE newdemocracyworld.org This is an interview with Carolyn Chute, secretary of the 2nd Maine Militia and Border Mountain Militia. In the Southern Poverty Law Center's Spring 1997 Intelligence Report, the 2nd Maine Militia was listed, along with the Center's exclamation that "Patriot groups pose continued threat" and the statement that the Patriot Movement is "the fastest growing segment of the anti-government movement—radical, violence-prone religious separatists." Carolyn is real. The two militias she works with are real. But the interviewer here is not. This piece is written by Carolyn, who insists "the interview style is much more interesting than essays or articles, but real living, breathing interviewers fudge everything—therefore what they write is fake." The fictional interviewer is a representative "institutionally educated" urban-valued, nondescript so-called liberal person who will be known as IUNLP Carolyn, an uneducated redneck novelist, will be known as CC (Carolyn is the author of The Beans of Egypt, Maine.

8. 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: Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com (Reviewed by Judi Clark APR 14, 1999) Ever drive by those isolated mobile homes strung with Christmas lights, dozens of junk cars, and maybe even a trailerable home and wondered who lives there? Sometimes there's a plywood extension to the mobile home or a shack nearby. Usually there are piles of wood, maybe a sign that says "Hay for Sale," but you don't see any hay anywhere. A few mangy dogs might be barking, a cat with its kittens, a pregnant girl is hanging out the wash, and a yard full of toys, means there's more kids somewhere. Well, meet the Beans of Egypt, Maine. There's Cousin Rubie, a boozer and a brawler, tall Aunt Roberta, the earth mother surrounded by countless clinging babies and Beal, sensitive, often gentle, but doomed by the violence within him. Earline is God-fearing and obsessed with the whole swarming tribe of Beans until she's smack in the middle of the clan herself.

    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

    Extractions: 3 December 1999 Use this version to print 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

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.

    Extractions: I did, in fact, take the day off yesterday (not literally; I already had the day off from work, but I stayed in all day and tended to the apt. and the fam). What that meant was that I cooked and hung out with S and facilitated a play date, but also mostly that I sat on my ass in front of the TV all day and knitted. We only get one channel, so I was pretty much at the mercy of WMTW. I even watched the soap operas, producing a kind of nostalgia for my childhood and the times my mom and I would watch Days of Our Lives together (it was on at 9:30 in the morning back then, and we sat together in our one-room cabin and watched it on our black and white tv in the middle of the woods). I recognized a lot of the actors! I wondered what it would be like to make a career out of acting on one soap opera.
