Leif Randt was born in Frankfurt/Main. He is a writer of prose. His latest novel “Planet Magnon” deals with a solar system far away where people live in aesthetic collectives under a government run by an artificial intelligence. The novel was adapted for theatre. He has been one of the stylistic authors of the younger generation since his highly acclaimed novel “Schimmernder Dunst über Coby County” (2011). His prose has won numerous prizes, including the Nicolas Born debut prize (2010), the Ingeborg Bachmann competition with the Ernst Willner Prize (2011), the Düsseldorfer Literaturpreis (2012), and a scholarship from the Villa Aurora Los Angeles. Leif took part in residency programs in Los Angeles, USA (2013) and Kyoto, Japan (2016). In 2015, he wrote a travel log about Indonesia. He is co-founder of “Tegel Media”, a web-label for contemporary text- and video-content.
