Young Hertz passed his examination in law in 1825. But his taste was all for literature, and in 1826-1827 two plays of his were produced, Hr. Burchardt og hans Familie (Mr. Burchardt and his Family) and Kjærlighed og Politi (Love and Policy); in 1828 followed the comedy of Flyttedagen (Moving Day). In 1830 he brought out what was a complete novelty in Danish literature, a comedy in rhymed verse, Amors Genistreger (Cupid's Strokes of Genius). In the same year Hertz published anonymously Gjengangerbrevene (Letters from a Ghost), which he pretended were written by Jens Immanuel Baggesen, who had died in 1826.

Jon Hadusek, writing in Consequence of Sound, labeled Countdown to Extinction as Mustaine's "political record" and said that the record "saw Megadeth moving away from thrash metal and closer to generic hard rock, a sonic shift they would embrace on subsequent albums". In an unfavorable review, Karen Csengeri of Rolling Stone wrote that "while Countdown echoes the band's earlier work thematically, it's stylistically disappointing". However, the magazine would later rank the album 33rd on their 2017 "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time" list. By contrast, Holger Stratmann of Rock Hard concluded that the disc is "a compact album with a few strokes of genius".

Gripping yarn reveals The Don's strokes of genius. This was summarised as follows: > he levered the bat up by pushing down with the top hand, whilst using the > bottom hand as a fulcrum. As it neared the top of the back-lift, Bradman > manoeuvred the bat through a continuous arc and back towards the plane of > the ball during the downswing in preparation for impact. Additionally, his backswing (according to former Australian captain Greg Chappell) kept his hands in close to his body, leaving him perfectly balanced and able to change his stroke mid-swing, if he was initially deceived by the flight of the ball.

The pair's rivalry – and indeed mutual respect and friendship – was the subject of the 2009 book 'Strokes of Genius' by L Jon Wertheim, which explored their career progression and early lives through the prism of the 2008 Wimbledon final. The book consequently inspired a 2018 film of the same name directed by Andrew Douglas, which updated the story to include their comebacks and recent domination of the slams. The documentary also includes footage of a skinny 12 year old Nadal before the development of his famously muscular physique and a number of clips of a surprisingly bad tempered Federer who admits in the film that he had to change his behaviour in order to progress his career. The documentary features contributions from former players such as John McEnroe, Björn Borg, Pete Sampras, Tim Henman and Carlos Moya – Nadal's current coach – and family members including Federer's mother and father.

In its opening pages, however, the novel describes Lucilla herself as an 'experiment': 'she was … an experiment, and experiments are generally mistakes unless they succeed when they are straightway hailed as strokes of genius'. Contemporary criticism of Lucilla focussed on what metropolitan readers regarded as the shocking nature of race relations in the West Indies. A reviewer for The Morning Post, careful to note that Lucilla was not a 'book[] with a purpose', wrote: > More than one clever author has written of life in the West Indies, but this > is perhaps the first book treating especially of the state of local feeling > regarding marriages contracted between persons of European extraction and > those of mixed blood. American novelists tell of the persistent antagonism > existing between the races at all points where the freed African has been > promoted to the political privileges of the white man.

It is no exaggeration to say that Dexter was the man who shaped modern cricket'.p240, Simon Hughes, And God Created Cricket, Black Swan 2009 In first-class matches he bored easily and his strokes of genius were in the end outweighed by his mistakes.
