Just as WASPs, Irish-Catholics, and Our Crowd Jews once made the ascent from immigrants to powerbrokers, it is now the Indian-American's turn. Citigroup, PepsiCo and Mastercard are just a handful of the Fortune 500 companies led by a group known as the "Twice Blessed".

Good book, mediocre reading

Good book. But quit trying to do an Indian accent when voicing South Asian people. It is irritating and unnecessary. I have met Rengan Rajaratnam and he has no such accent. Just read.

Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Genre bending and not what you expect. Part Dearh In The Afternoon (for precise description) and part Old Man And The Sea (for allegory) - both of which appear to come from this book. Keeps a foot on each side of the line between rationality and superstition.
