In her memoir, Letting In Air and Light, Teresa Tumminello Brader unveils a hidden history of her New Orleans family, weaving together sections of fiction and nonfiction and allowing us to understand an uncle, brilliant but disturbed by mental illness, as a forger of well-known artists, including Louisiana painter Clementine Hunter. Written with honest, tremulous prose, the story carefully telescopes through generations of houses, from the double-shotgun on Plum Street to homes heartbroken, lost, and divided, revealing with warmth and clarity a family that should have been considered “ordinary” and “commonplace.” It becomes clear, however, that this family is no less than extraordinary, their ultimate portrait revealing marks of disillusion and shame as outshined by kindnesses toward each other. In Brader’s untying of familial secrets and forgotten stories one finds a brave and beautiful debut.
