In addition to novels, Bastašić has written in many different genres: short stories, children’s stories, poetry, and stage plays.
In an article published in ''[[The Guardian]]'' in October 2023, Bastašić commented on the assessment of the Middle East conflict in Germany: " even the mention of the word “Palestine” in Germany risks getting you accused of Antisemitism. Any attempt at providing context and sharing facts on the historical background to the conflict is seen as crude justification of [[Hamas]]’s terror. [...] The stifling of opposition to the killing of civilians in Gaza even extends to Jewish people. [...] Germany’s unwavering official support for the Israeli government’s actions leaves scant room for humanity. [...] The white saviourist hypocrisy we are witnessing in Germany today will, in the long run, benefit white Germans only."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bastašić |first=Lana |date=2023-10-23 |title=I grew up in Bosnia, amid fear and hatred of Muslims.

In January 2024, Bastašić terminated her contract with German publisher [[S. Fischer Verlag|S Fischer]], accusing it of silence on the [[Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present)|Gaza crisis]] and censoring pro-Palestinian voices in Germany.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Oltermann |first=Philip |date=2024-01-15 |title=Novelist breaks with German publisher amid call for wider cultural boycott over Gaza |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/15/novelist-lana-bastasic-breaks-with-german-publisher-cultural-boycott-israel-gaza |access-date=2024-02-01 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Later that month, she revealed on Instagram that she has been disinvited from an Austrian literature festival, the [[Literature Festival Salzburg]]. The festival organizers cited the ongoing discussion around her publisher departure, stating that her participation would imply a stance they wished to avoid.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 31, 2024 |title=Bosnian author Lana Bastasic disinvited from Austria literature festival over Gaza views |url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bosnian-author-disinvited-literature-festival-after-cutting-ties-publisher-their-silence-gaza |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=Middle East Eye |language=en}}</ref>
