In Cinema and Literature
Chris Doyle's film Away with words is largely inspired by the story of Funes (as well as Luria's account of Shereshevskii's life and psychology).
David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas alludes to this story; the character Sonmi-451 is said, as part of her intellectual development, to have read "Ireneo Funes's Remembrances".
