Not just in literature. I had an Austrian history class last semester which focused on Vienna at the turn of the 20th century.
Conclusion? Everyone slept with everyone and then died from syphilis. Or suicide. Actually, I think suicide was the more frequent cause of death, but often those who committed it also had syphilis.

Secret cinema found beneath Paris
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)
I want to find them (too).
