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.
