==In literature== [[James Joyce]] and [[Oliver St. John Gogarty]] once resided at the [[Martello tower]] together. It is now the [[James Joyce Tower and Museum]]. The opening section of Joyce's ''[[Ulysses (novel)|Ulysses]]'' is set here, with the characters [[Stephen Dedalus]] and [[Buck Mulligan]] being partly based on Joyce himself and Gogarty, respectively. Buck Mulligan described the sea as "The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea." The Forty Foot also featured in the novels ''[[At Swim-Two-Birds]]'' by [[Flann O'Brien]] (1939), ''[[At Swim, Two Boys]]'' by [[Jamie O'Neill]] (2001) and '' Nessuna notizia dello scrittore scomparso '' by [[:it:Daniele_Bresciani|Daniele Bresciani]] (2017).
