University of Iowa International Writing Program. He has published,

Ha-Zikaron (Hunter of Memory) and most recently, Muzungu:

Clever, mischievous and humane, this is literary journalism in
the proud tradition of Ryszard Kapuscinski and Joseph Roth.–Amos
Elon

?Sarna has elevated the human-interest story to an art form. His
book sheds light on human suffering in general, and the Israeli
experience in particular. These fascinating accounts reveal a truth
that is stranger than fiction, and a good deal stronger as
well.?–The Dallas Morning News

?Incantory. . . .Sarna writes searingly of the Jewish
experience. . . . He understands that horror often hides in the
small details, the seemingly trivial. His story “Whoever Knew Shut
Up or Died,” in simply tracing the fate of an Israeli family trying
to track down a baby lost in Poland during the horror, may be as
unforgettable an expression of the numbing legacy of the Nazi
murder of Jews as anything out there.??The San Francisco
Chronicle

?Short, haunting and delicately drawn portraits, of
settlers, soldiers, artists, [and] war heroes. [Sarna] touches on
all the themes of Israel?s modern tragedy. Thoughtful and humane. .
.A marvellous book??The Times Literary Supplement
