João Simões Lopes Neto
Brazilian writer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
João Simões Lopes Neto (March 9, 1865 – June 14, 1916) was a Brazilian regionalist writer from Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul.
After some unsuccessful business ventures, Neto married at 27. He only wrote four significant works, but nevertheless made a strong contribution to Brazilian literature, specifically regionalist writing known as Criollismo in Latin America.[1][2]
Neto died of a perforated ulcer in 1916 at age 51.[3]
