Prvim se radovima javio uoči Drugoga svjetskog rata objavivši svoj novelistički prvijenac Životna staza Jandrije Kutlače (1935) u Magazinu sjeverne Dalmacije. Ali tek kad je objavio roman pod oksimoronskim naslovom Zimsko ljetovanje (1950.), Desnica je, prateći skupinu Zadrana koji su se pred savezničkim bombama tijekom rata sklonili u sela zadarskog zaleđa, ušao u književnost kroz glavna vrata i odmah stao u red prvih srpskih pripovjedača kao umjetnik visoko njegovane rečenice realističko-naturalističkog stila, koja ima uzor u stilu talijanskoga verizma pa je, unatoč agitpropovsko-cekaovskoj kritici, odmah pozdravljen i prihvaćen od najmlađih pisaca.
