He is not lying to you. He is legislating. A narrator describes the room you are standing in. His sentences lie on the floor where he said them, and they are not true yet. Walk at a door he called locked and you go straight through it, because you never accepted that it was. Stop and take his word for it and the door becomes genuinely, mechanically locked, and you have lost that way out for good.
Every sentence is a two-sided tool. "The east wall is only painted" is a way through if you accept it. "The reading room is watching" is how you die if you do. The four things worth knowing before you start Taking his word for it is free. Refusing him is rationed. Each chapter gives you a few doubts. Spend them on the sentences that would hurt you if he finished them, not on the ones that are merely inconvenient.
Every refusal makes him bolder, and so does every agreement. A narrator who is agreed with does not get quieter. Past a threshold he stops waiting to be believed: a red line crawls under each sentence you left alone, and when it reaches the end the sentence is true and the room has changed around you. Two things that cannot both be so will stop the room working.
