Il Virginian era un piroscafo. Negli anni tra le due guerre faceva la spola tra Europa e America, con il suo carico di miliardari, di emigranti e di gente qualsiasi. Dicono che sul Virginian si esibisse ogni sera un pianista straordinario, dalla tecnica strabiliante, capace di suonare una musica mai sentita prima, meravigliosa. Dicono che la sua storia fosse pazzesca, che fosse nato su quella nave e che da li non fosse mai sceso. Dicono che nessuno sapesse il perche. Questo racconto, nato come monologo teatrale, e uscito per la prima volta nel 1994. Nel 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore ne ha tratto il film "La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano".
