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]
