Résumé
In Rick Moody’s fiction, children, teenagers and more generally descendants, are systematically plagued with physical or mental troubles. Their dysfunctioning bodies point less at their future extinction than the original family corruption they proceed from. We thus argue that the temporality of illness is to be reconsidered, morbidity being thus not a prelude to mortality.
