186. “Gulag Archipelago” Parody

January 11, 2010

Q: I’ve been looking for a parody of the Gulag Archipelago that I thought appeared in the summer of 1976. I have not been able to find it on the DVD of the magazine I just purchased. There were several other funny parodies in the same issue. Can you help with the issue number?

A: Shirley says: “NatLamp‘s July ’77 (I Need Sex) issue ran ‘More Obligatory Sex Scenes’ which included a short spoof of ‘The Gulag Archipelago’ amongst sexual parodies of several books. (Issue #88)” That’s probably it.
