Title

So far in the story although we still can't figure out completely the meaning of the book, there have already been some hints on what it may refer to. First let's start with God from God's Bits of Wood. There are two main perspectives on God. The people who rely on him and expect him to help them out of that preoccupying situation, in Ousmane's novel this people tend to be the older ones, and the people who although believe in God, think that they don't have time to spare and need to start taking action now despite the fact that God's will is for them to succeed. And the second part of the title, Bits of Wood, so far represent the base of Thies. The whole city is made out of pieces of wood. The city functions thanks to pieces of wood. Everything in the story is made out of wood.
