What's interesting to me is the visual perspective of wimmelbooks reflects the experience of riding not in cars but in trains and trams, where you pass close enough to houses to admire the tchotchkes in the windows and even through them to the back garden, at a slightly elevated angle, and at a pace slow enough to whet the curiosity about the residents yet quick enough to miss them if they should appear.
Although the state has only two seats out of 20143 in the national Parliament's lower house, the Lok Sabha, elections here are a reliable source of journalistic tchotchkes: the arrival of an electronic voting machine, in the snow, at the "highest polling station" in Luguthang village or the somewhat overcooked tale of intrepid election officials braving jungles and trekking "six kilometers over uneven terrain" to set up a polling booth for a single desultory voter.
I had asked to visit a place of personal significance, and although he has lived and worked in Los Angeles since the 1970s, he didn't plot some dutiful trip down memory lane — a spin past the old headquarters of the Groundlings, the pioneering improv troupe where he created Pee-wee Herman, his indelible comic alter-ego; through the Burbank soundstages where he filmed much of ''Pee-wee's Big Adventure,'' the hit 1985 film that made him a star; up to his Hollywood Hills home, where he keeps an elaborate cactus garden and a stockpile of curios and tchotchkes.
There is good art, most of it conceptual, including a large optical sculpture by the French artist Gabriel Leger, but also half-unpacked boxes (though Dumas moved in over three years ago), and long, low shelving units loaded with art books and auction catalogs and topped with random stacks of sentimental tchotchkes, including a tiny windup plastic swimmer that his interior designer mother once gave to her staff as Christmas presents, a branded neon-orange hard hat and a boxed Playmobil figurine of the Greek god Hermes (no relation, though coincidentally responsible for protecting merchants and athletes).
