Bastian Lasse received his B.A. in Germanic Languages and Literatures, with a minor in History and Educational Sciences (2015), and his M.A. in Literary Studies (2018) at Bielefeld University. Since 2018, he is a graduate student at the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures here at Harvard. Research interests include narratology, postcolonial, and gender studies. His dissertation engages with texts by Wilhelm Raabe, Theodor Storm, and Theodor Fontane, as well as Alfred Döblin and W.G. Sebald in order to carve out a narratology of forgetting.
