Carolyn Chute (1947–) is a working-class anarchist author who writes primarily about life in rural Maine, where she lives. She’s the author of numerous novels, from 1985’s critically acclaimed The Beans of Eypgt, Maine, to 1999’s critically hated Snow Man—about a militiaman who kills a senator. She’s part of the Second Maine Militia, which is a left-libertarian militia group. There’s an interesting interview with her about her radical politics in Eberhardt Press’s No Hope.

No Hope is not currently available, but we have it from a reliable source that Eberhardt Press, the publisher, will be releasing it online as a PDF in the nearish future.
