This story was the first work of any kind I read from Atwood beyond Handmaid’s Tale, which I thought was OK in a blunt-force pc sort of way. But “The Man From Mars” was a pleasant (to me) revelation. It's themes were standard fodder for short stories – overweight and undersized college girl’s self image takes a roller coaster ride when she’s stalked, sort of, but an oddball guy. But the writing is brilliant and original and deftly mixes creepy, funny, pathetic, mysterious and some other things.

It's like catcalling; you know it's really bad and that you shouldn't stand for that sort of stuff but at the same time for females or males who don't have good self-esteem at all they might relish it because i This story was okay and it really puts into light about women who have self esteem issues.
It's seems really weird to others how Christina would not call the police and how she was actually glad it was 'someone else who called them' but it shows how low her self-esteem and body image was.
