''Desert of the Heart'' is a 1964 lesbian-themed novel written by Jane Rule. The story was adapted loosely into the 1985 film ''Desert Hearts'', directed by Donna Deitch. The book was originally published in hardback by Macmillan Canada. It was one of the very few novels that addressed lesbianism that was published in hardback form; most books during this period with female homosexuality as a topic were considered lesbian pulp fiction until 1969. At the time the novel was published, Rule was a lecturer at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and because the novel dealt with lesbianism, her job was threatened.〔Heath. Profiles in Canadian Literature. Vol. 7.Dundurn Press Ltd., 1996〕 ''Desert of the Heart'' was first republished in paperback form by Talonbooks in 1977. == Background == Rule's family lived in Reno, Nevada, where the book is set, and although she was not a resident, she visited them. One summer, Rule worked in a casino to research for the book and was impressive in her competence.〔 Rule completed the book in 1961 and spent three years trying to find a publisher for it, eventually sending it to about 25 American publishers. Rule remembered that one publisher told her, "If this book isn't pornographic, what's the point of printing it ... if you can write in the dirty parts we'll take it but otherwise no".〔Hannon, Gerald.
