Adam Gidwitz: Hi. My name is Adam Gidwitz. That's Gid-witz. This name gives people some trouble, especially telemarketers who call my house. They like to change it, because they don't believe that my name really is Gidwitz. They like to say, "Hello. May I speak to Mr. Giblitz?" Or, "Hello. May I speak to Mr. Good Wrench?" One guy was so disturbed by my name, he gave up. He said, "Hello. May I speak to Mr. ... "

I felt bad for him, but it's Gid-witz. Gidwitz.
