"L’écriture de Marius Daniel Popescu est d’une générosité assez inouïe. Le Cri du barbeau vient clôturer, après La Symphonie du loup et Les Couleurs de l’hirondelle (Corti, 2007 et 2012), une trilogie sur les mots. Or, les mots, c’est assez rare pour le souligner, l’écrivain ne les accapare pas."

The German-language Swiss daily newspaper Tages-Anzeiger published an interview with British historian Antony Beevor in its 6 May 2025 edition.
