As if to make up for these missing parts, he is a full-time resister and iconoclast who loudly lacerates the world with mockery. His friend and foil is Rich Bone, a handsome and once successful corporate executive who sees life's flaws so clearly that he has retreated to become a sort of passive picaro. Bone bums around the beaches of Santa Barbara, Calif., lives...
