Fiction
St. Mungo finds a reference in the Harry Potter cycle of books, as the titular saint of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. The namesake of the Hospital is, however, Mungo Bonham (1560 - 1659), an accomplished Healer. St Mungo is also referenced in the Father Brown series of books by G.K. Chesterton, as the titular saint of Father Brown's parish.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal to the senses with abstractions.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Being is a fiction invented by those who suffer from becoming.”
—Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
