Achille Essebac
Achille Essebac (January 29, 1868 – August 1, 1936) was a French writer primarily known for his novel "Dédé" about an ill-fated homoerotic friendship between two schoolboys. Essebac was a pseudonym, since his original surname Bécasse is a derogatory word for goose.
Essebac was a friend of Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen and defended him against accusations of indecency caused by Fersen's penchant for "tableaux vivants" at his house in Avenue de Friedland. In 1909, Essebac also contributed an article for
novels.
