„Er selbst hält dies bis heute für sein wichtigstes Buch, auch weil es am autobiografischsten ist.“
„Die Kriegsabenteuer des Simplicius, dieses »seltsamen Vaganten«, der sich mal als Narr mit Eselsohren oder Musikant, mal als Soldat oder Räuber, mal als Händler oder Quacksalber durchschlägt - sie spiegeln von Anfang an eigene Erfahrungen des Autors, ohne deshalb komplett autobiografisch zu sein.“
