NORWAY — National best-selling Maine author, Carolyn Chute, will present a reading and conversation at Norway Memorial Library on Thursday, November 17, 6:30-8 p.m. Chute’s latest novel, The Recipe for Revolution, is now available in paperback. In it, Chute presents politics, class, love, and friendship and their complications in today’s America. This book is the third installment in Chute’s inter-related novels about the Settlement, a radical collective in rural Maine. Booklist says, “Characters and relationships drive this novel with a fierce political vision that feels uniquely tailored for our times.”
