2002年，澳大利亚前总理保罗·基廷的前演讲撰稿人唐·沃森出版了《流血之心的回忆：保罗·基廷总理传》一书，该书的出版导致两人友谊破裂 1。沃森曾于1992年1月至1996年3月担任基廷的演讲撰稿人，并参与了1992年雷德芬演讲的撰写 1。在这部作品中，沃森以内部人士兼历史学家的视角对基廷进行了心理剖析，并写入了大量个人感受 1。基廷对此极为愤怒，认为这是背叛行为，并指责沃森争夺演讲署名权 1。同年5月，基廷出席了在悉尼市政厅举行的新书发布会并发表演讲 1。
这部回忆录最终成为畅销书，销量据报在75,000至100,000册之间，并被《时代报》和《信使邮报》评为年度图书 1。该书联合获得2003年国家传记奖，并被视为澳大利亚政治写作的经典之作 1。其文化影响力还衍生出音乐剧《基廷！》，该剧于2005年在墨尔本国际喜剧节首演，后在悉尼贝尔沃街剧院演出，取得约50万澳元票房，并获得2007年赫尔普曼奖最佳音乐剧等奖项 1。此外，乔舒亚·布莱克的著作《表演政治：澳大利亚政客与他们讲述的故事》由新南威尔士出版社出版，出版日期为9月1日 1。
Don Watson’s book, Recollections of a Bleeding Heart: A Portrait of Paul Keating PM, was published in 2002 and sold between 75,000 and 100,000 copies 1.

Watson served as Keating’s speechwriter from January 1992 to March 1996 and participated in writing the 1992 Redfern speech 1. Approaching the project from an insider and historian perspective, Watson included psychological analyses of Keating and his own personal feelings 1.
