00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:04.170 align:middle line:90%
Buenas noches.

00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:05.102 align:middle line:90%
Buenas noches.

I think the last time
I was here in Arizona

00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:17.280 align:middle line:84%
to read for the U of
A was 20 years ago.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:22.110 align:middle line:90%
That's right, you remember.

00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:27.060 align:middle line:84%
Right after my first book, and
they waited until my 22nd book

00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.720 align:middle line:90%
to find me again.

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:29.470 align:middle line:90%
But you know what?

00:00:29.470 --> 00:00:30.782 align:middle line:90%
Better late than never, right?

00:00:30.782 --> 00:00:31.740 align:middle line:90%
Better late than never.

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:37.800 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:41.010 align:middle line:84%
And this is one of the
most beautiful places

00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:45.360 align:middle line:84%
in this country, and I've
definitely seen many.

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:48.870 align:middle line:84%
I love the sun, I love the
land, and even though I've

00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:53.070 align:middle line:84%
been living in New York
City for the last 20 years,

00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:58.993 align:middle line:84%
I still inhabit the Southwest
in my imagination and my work.

00:00:58.993 --> 00:01:00.160 align:middle line:90%
So thank you for hosting me.

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.180 align:middle line:90%
