Plot Summary of Mungo City
"The story, which takes place in the not-so-distant future, is a humorous, satirical journey starring Jimmy Doodle. The humdrum Doodle, who turns out not to be so humdrum, gets involved in the political and underground escapades both inside and outside what is known as the Corporate World. The humour in this tale really hits you over the head, and it would make for a great movie."
Jerry Cranford, Resident Scholar
