When we first met Johnnie Ray in the novel \u003ci\u003eBlackbird\u003c\/i\u003e, he was a gay teenager in love with the star of a high school play; now he’s forty-eight, still handsome and gym-built, but admittedly vain and looking down the short road to fifty. In the midst of a midlife crisis, he falls for a much younger man with some serious Daddy issues; throughout it all, Johnnie Ray tries to look at love (and his life) from both sides now (to borrow a phrase from his idol Joni Mitchell). \u003ci\u003eGot ’Til It’s Gone \u003c\/i\u003eis a queer romantic comedy for the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Duplechan \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of four previous novels, including \u003ci\u003eBlackbird\u003c\/i\u003e, published in a new edition by Arsenal Pulp Press in 2006.
