Savage was raised as one of four children of a cop and a homemaker in ethnic-Irish [[Chicago]]. He spent some time in Catholic school, and his writing bears scant traces of the church’s stark moral clarity, most notable in his impatience with postmodern or queer theorizing or anything that might overturn the centrality of the stable nuclear family.
