'He is a meticulous, forensic journalist who reads everything and talks to everyone - friends, enemies, the hairdresser, the dog.' Suzy Baldwin, Sydney Morning Herald 'A listener who loathes small talk. A man with huge empathy for many things in the world. And a craftsman with that innate and potentially problematic double-edged sword - other people open up to David Leser, the person, and sometimes overlook that in his professional capacity, he is David Leser, the journalist.' Matt Condon, Sun Herald

His first collection of articles, The Whites of their Eyes, an anthology of profiles of some of Australia's most remarkable personalities, was published by Allen & Unwin in 1999.
