At one point in Nick Hornby's 2005 novels Long Way Down, a number of characters debate taboos in film and, by implication, in literature: "It's all part of life, isn't it?" "People always say that about unpleasant things I'll tell you what else is all part of life: going for a crap. No one ever wants to see that, do they? No one ever puts that in a film. Let's go and watch people take a dump this evening." "Who'd let us?... People lock the door."
