Eliezer Shimeoni (E. S.) chairs the Society for Anxiety and the Postmodern Condition (SAPC). By his friends, he is variously referred to 'as es', or as 'es' (that is it, or id), or sometimes, in Hebrew, as esh, that is, fire. He has recently been the subject of a fictitious account, the novella Requiem : A Tale of Exile and Return , by Erel Shalit.
