Why people recommend it

Surgery of Love by James C. Burt and Joan Burt is a controversial volume co-authored by the couple to promote the male doctor's radical and experimental surgical procedures rather than serving as a standard medical manual. Robert Evans examined the publication across multiple episodes of Behind the Bastards in April 2021. Evans explained that James and Joan co-authored the book in 1975, noting that Joan was twenty-five years younger and fully bought into the ideology, though she lacked the perspective to know any better. Furthermore, Evans discussed how the biographical details on the book flap portrayed Joan as an accomplished actress, musician, and sought-after real estate professional with great artistic abilities, thereby framing the traditional wife role within the marriage according to the author's perspective. The host highlighted the publication as a primary tool utilized by James Burt to create popular demand for his love surgery, shedding light on the manipulative dynamics and historical context surrounding the creation and marketing of the work.
