Life and career edit
Macek was born in Litomyšl, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. In May 2006 Macek made international news when, coming from behind, he struck the Minister of Health David Rath at a dentists' conference, accusing him of having insulted his wife (after Rath had publicly stated that Macek had married his wife for money).[1]
Macek was a member of Mensa International, being considered the first member from behind the Iron Curtain.[2] He stated that he had become a member in 1980.[3]
In 2017, he published his novel Saturnin se vrací (Saturnin Returns), a sequel to Zdeněk Jirotka's acclaimed novel, Saturnin.[4]
Macek died on 1 May 2024, at the age of 79.[5]
