Scholarly Resources
74.ABITEBOUL, Maurice. “Le romanesque et le grotesque dans ‘The Man from Mars’ de Margaret Atwood ou le mythe démythifié.” Études canadiennes / Canadian Studies 24 (1988): 87-98. “In ‘The Man from Mars,’ one of the best-known stories written by M. Atwood, a close textual analysis reveals all the structural elements of a conventional fairy tale. The story narrates the adventures of a pathetically inadequate ‘knight,’ desperately trying to conquer the lady with whom he has fallen in love at first sight. But the story is treated as a parody of the genre and is actually a demythification [sic] of the tale. Yet this does not affect the emotional impact of the story which is a realistic version of the old tale.” (Author).
