Her short story anthology, Wajah Terakhir (The Last Face), was published in 2011. Among the many distinctive qualities of Sylviana’s stories are scenes that are unapologetically beyond the pale. Dirt, ugliness, and darkness—both physical and in the minds of her characters—appear without any attenuation. Though Sylviana’s fictional world is not a safe place for women, they don’t always respond to situations as objects or victims—they often take positions as “abjects” who wage confrontation against the accepted order.
