Kurt Vonnegut
1922 ~ 2007
American Humanist Association honorary President Kurt Vonnegut died on April 11, 2007 of a head injury suffered in a fall. Vonnegut was a prolific author whose work served as a conscience to humankind. His work was grounded in the humanist principle of recognizing the value of everyone; he abhorred war and especially the popular media's glamorization of armed conflict. His definitive work, Slaughterhouse Five, The Children's Crusade, is among the most stinging criticisms of war ever published. The final line of the book refers to what birds will say in response to a slaughter, "poo tee weet."
Here is a list of Vonnegut's books that have reviews posted on this website
