The 25-year-old former child star has written his first book, Junior, a semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical collection of journal-like entries, drawings, letters and poems – often about a troubled father-son relationship.
In one letter to "Father" he writes: "You taught me how I never want to be with my children . . . . You taught me about anger and rage." In another, his character simply repeats an obscene word over and over and over in a letter to his father.
But "Dad" also tops his list of "Things That Are Important." Also on the list? “Solar panels. Bananas. Carpenters.”
In real life Culkin, who shot to fame in 1990's Home Alone, has not spoken to his father, Kit Culkin, 61 (left), since a custody dispute in 1997.
