Jack Fritscher 159

Irvin “Bud” Townsend Bernhard, Jr., self-portrait, age 20, 1950.
Documenting his face the week before he enlisted in the U.S. Air
Force to avoid the draft, Larry, whose father was a spy, served in mili-
tary intelligence in post-war Germany where he toured the devasta-
tion, culture, and local talent on his motor scooter—and began his
kinky adventures reading de Sade in the Gemütlichkeit of beer gardens
similar to the one in the film Cabaret released the same year as The
Leatherman’s Handbook.
