Being disappointed with someone you respect and almost adore is much worse than being disappointed about things in general...
I still deem Макс Фрай a unique writer, and I still like her books, and I still love her Tales of Old Vilnius, and I still 200 % agree with her about things, but I`m afraid, henceforth, I`ll never be able to read any of her books the way I used to. There will always be a feeling of resentment, or suspicion, or I know not what other poisonous aftertaste. Being happy about and bragging of having raped anything, let alone something you say you love, is kinda more than I could ever understand.
Поскольку работаю я хорошо, мне регулярно выписывают премии;в основном в виде погоды. Чем лучше я работаю, тем теплей у нас декабри; на апельсиновые деревья по берегам Нерис я пока, увы, не зарабатываю. Но очень стараюсь.

So. You moved to a Northern city you say you love, and started remaking it into something sub-equatorial? Successfully, but not quite? What about all the living things that need seasons, including real winter? They have to wither away and die just to grant you your whim. Why didn`t you go to Morocco, or something? Wouldn`t have had to work so hard, for one.
Все-таки ничего нет в этом мире красивее оттепели. Триумфальная победа жизни над смертью /.../

Thaw after thaw after thaw is not "glorious victory of life over death". It is bereaving Nature of much-needed sleep and rest. And you are proud of doing things like that?
Да щоб тебе не дали выспаться ни разу до конца дней твоих!
