Erotic Grotesque Nonsense is a 2007 book by historian Miriam Silverberg. It focuses on Japanese modern culture in the interwar period, specifically from the 1920s until the attack on Pearl Harbor, and argues that ero guro nansensu was a challenge to Japanese imperialist ideology. The book received praise in the academic community for its informativity and detail, but was criticized for leaving several knowledge gaps open or using a "montage in motion" perspective to organize its contents.
