Allegro Pastel
A new title in the Granta Magazine Editions series: a vivid, ironic and blisteringly contemporary account of millennial love in Frankfurt and Berlin.

Allegro Pastel follows a cult author and a web designer as they live and love in contemporary Berlin.

Tanja and Jerome are navigating a long-distance relationship in a world of constant communication and emotional hyper-reflection. Whether they're WhatsApping one another from drug-fueled dance parties or sending ambiguous emojis on a trip to Decathlon, every gesture is controlled and self-aware. This is love in the post-therapeutic age, set against the backdrop of a rapidly heating climate.

Written with crackling insight, dry humour, and deep emotional intelligence, Allegro Pastel proclaims Leif Randt as the premiere German stylist of his generation.
