Honeymoons don't get more hellish than the one that kicks off ''The Falls,'' Joyce Carol Oates's thundering, sudsy Niagara of a novel. And if it's a cheap shot to equate this book with the gargantuan waterworks of its title, it's ... unavoidable. Ms. Oates herself invokes the Niagara Falls metaphor so often and so variously that it comes to symbolize all of the book's main characters, with the possible exception of Zarjo, the family dog.

Niagara Falls in the 1950s is the setting for Joyce Carol Oates's novel. It begins with a shocking event: the suicide of a man married for less than a day, who leaps into the falls and is swept away by the rushing torrent.
