Citation

« L’écriture est pour Yusuf Kadel une expérience individuelle et collective à la fois, qui pousse l’exigence structurelle à son paroxysme. Individuelle dans l’épure et la capacité du renoncement de soi, collective dans la captation d’un héritage émotionnel. Il est l’écrivain mauricien dont la grande silhouette hantera désormais, et pour longtemps, les mots qui irriguent et donnent chair au plaisir littéraire. » – Caya Makhélé, Cultures Sud N° 170.
