This story was okay and it really puts into light about women who have self esteem issues. But the writing is brilliant and original and deftly mixes creepy, funny, pathetic, mysterious and some other things. 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 Man From Mars” was a pleasant (to me) revelation. 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.
