Do you mean the title? I have to say that personally I really don't
like it. I find that it sounds rather odd - abnormal even :-). But
then a direct translation of the French title would probably have
sounded odd as well - The Abnormals-, but it does have historical
and concrete nuances that the singular universal concept does not.
However, I'm probably being unduly picky!
