Sumario:Portuguese author Inês Pedrosa’s novel Fazes-me falta deals with several themes, opening space for an interdisciplinary analysis. However, in the case of a work published in 2002, the objective in this essay is to address the contemporary Portuguese novel from the inception of postmodernism. General aspects of postmodern Portuguese novels will be addressed, by authors such as Ana Paula Arnaut (2002), Miguel Real (2001), Alvaro Cardoso Gomes (1993) and Cremilda de Araújo Medina (1983) who, by their turn, seek to set the postmodernist aesthetics from some works of twentieth-century writers such as Agustina Bessa-Luís, José Saramago, Teolinda Gersão, Lídia Jorge, Pedro Támen and Vergílio Ferreira. The definitions of the contemporary Portuguese novel being thus laid down, they will be applied to Fazes-me falta to check whether Pedrosa’s novel can be defined as such.
