As I slowly put together my course, I keep fantasizing about the textbook that I would make from the course. My ideal publication would definitely be a Penguin title with a great cover. I'd call it The Penguin Book of Chinese Life Writing, and I'd have a great introductory essay covering the terrain of Chinese history, the resonances of a history based on exemplary lives, and the similarity between the arts of of essay and of portraiture. 
Thanks, Cover Browser. What a fun website!
