	'''''Carnival''''' is a 2006 novel by [[Elizabeth Bear]]. It takes place on the planets Old Earth and New Amazonia, and follows the ambassador-spies [[Michelangelo Kusanagi-Jones]] (aka Angelo; aka Michelangelo Osiris Leary Kusanagi-Jones) and [[Vincent Katherinessen]], as they come to New Amazonia and interact with various women, including [[Lesa Pretoria]], duelist and politician.		'''''Carnival''''' is a [[2006]] novel by [[Elizabeth Bear]]. It takes place on the planets Old Earth and New Amazonia, and follows the ambassador-spies [[Michelangelo Kusanagi-Jones]] (aka Angelo; aka Michelangelo Osiris Leary Kusanagi-Jones) and [[Vincent Katherinessen]], as they come to New Amazonia and interact with various women, including [[Lesa Pretoria]], duelist and politician.

	New Amazonia is a matriarchy, in which men are politically disempowered and regulated. They can achieve recognition and glory through the [[gladiatorial contests]] of the "Carnival" festival, which are depicted in the novel, but they remain attached to female households and have little power. "Gentle males" (the planet's term for homosexual men) have somewhat more freedom than "stud males." Kusanagi-Jones and Katherinessen are welcome as diplomats only because they are "gentle males," who have been in love with each other for decades. However, homosexuality is unacceptable on New Earth, and they have been kept apart for many of those years.		New Amazonia is a matriarchy, in which men are politically disempowered and regulated.
