White Trash is the fifth novel by English author John King, first published in 2001 by Jonathan Cape. The paperback edition of the book, released by Vintage, carries the following quote by Alan Sillitoe, author of Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, on its cover: "Complete and unique, all stitched up and marvellous, the two sides of the equation brought together, realistic yet philosophical." The quote also appears on the US edition of the novel (2016), which includes an introduction by the author—"From Cradle to Grave".
