A pornographic novel related to Teleny (1893) as a sexual history of Des Greiux's family. The first two chapters are of Camille Des Greiux's grandparents, Camille Des Grieux (grandmother) and Gaston Des Grieux (grandfather). The third and final chapter is from the view of their unnamed son, Camille's (Teleny) father (Peter Mendes).
Said to have been written by the same group of anonymous authors including Oscar Wilde. Publication details are unstated. There are three known copies left. Justin O’Hearn, a student at the University of British Columbia, launched a Kickstarter to purchase one of them along with a copy of Teleny to make them freely available online (UBC).
