NYT book review:  THE IMMORTALSby Amit Chaudhuri (Vintage, $16.95.) The raga-loving scion of a corporate family in 1980s India is the protagonist of this comedy of manners. Chaudhuri “is candid without being cynical” about those who “have made India a global economic player,” Gaiutra Bahadur wrote in the Book Review, admiring the “wry, knowing authorial tone that makes the book so pleasurable.”
