Carleton Bulkin is the English translator of Manfred Macmillan: Book One of the Three Magicians Trilogy (1907) by Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic, published by Amherst College Press in 2024. Decadence meets gothic in Manfred Macmillan, a carefully constructed tale of doppelgängers, magical intrigue, and the rootless scion of a noble house. This annotated, first-ever English translation presents an early queer novel long unavailable except in the original Czech.
