Irma and the Hermit: My Life in Korea, by Irma Tennani Materi


Opinionated, condescending, racially and culturally patronizing narrative of life within USMGIK as the wife of a colonel who trained Korean constabulatory, domestic police, then the Coast Guard. A distinctly provincial and domestic portrayal of U.S. quonset-hut life, including appliances and bathroom details.
