>About The Book:  The Falls, a love story gone wrong and righted, is the 
>latest achievement of Joyce Carol Oates, one of the great artistic forces 
>of our time (The Nation).  The book begins when a man climbs over the 
>railings and plunges into Niagara Falls.  A newlywed, he has left behind 
>his wife, Ariah Erskine, in the honeymoon suite the morning after their 
>wedding.  The Widow Bride of The Falls begins a relentless, seven-day 
>vigil in the mist, waiting for his body to be found.  What follows is 
>their passionate love affair, marriage, and children a seemingly perfect 
>existence.  But the tragedy by which their life together began shadows 
>them, damaging their idyll with distrust, greed, and even murder.  Set 
>against the mythic-historic backdrop of Niagara Falls, Joyce Carol Oates 
>explores the American family in crisis, but also America itself in the 
>mid-twentieth century.  The Falls alone places Joyce Carol Oates 
>definitely in the company of the great American novelists.

>Award and the PEEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction.  She has 
>written some of the most enduring fiction of our time, including the 
>national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde, which was nominated 
>for the National Book Award.  In 2003 she received the Common Wealth Award 
>for Distinguished Service in Literature and the Kenyon Review Award for 
>Literary Achievement.
