Troye Sivan on how a book by Annie Ernaux influenced his new album: Annie Ernaux “wrote about this idea of going to the doctor's to sit in the waiting room because it was one of the only places where she could sit and think guilt-free about this man that she’s in love with. I loved that so much. There’s a lyric in the album that’s exactly that.”

00:00There was a book that I read. It's a very short book by Annie Arnaud.
00:03Oh, love her.
00:04The word love is in the title. I read it in like a day. It's like a very short book.
00:08She wrote about this idea of going to the doctors to sit in the waiting room because it was one
00:15of the only places where she could sit and think guilt-free about this man that she's in love with.
00:20I loved that so much.
00:23And so there's a lyric in the album that's exactly that.
00:29It's basically like I do all these things to create time and space where I'm allowed to just kind of
00:36like it's like socially acceptable for me to just sit and do nothing but think of you.
