No... not from the Western hemisphere at all

Just ascertaining, Tailor: then it is not Cyrano de Bergerac whose story inspired Edmond Rostand?

No, Cyrano's author would be Western canon, though I found this gem from Cyrano's wiki interesting:As an aside I have a cousin connection from Cyrano's Theatre Company that I've never cultivated.The entire play is written in verse, in rhyming couplets of twelve syllables per line, very close to the classical alexandrine form, but the verses sometimes lack a caesura.
Nor Milan Kundera, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Kundera , whom I believe would be Eastern hemisphere born, but whose quote might be food for thought: "It's a great consolation to think that when we've long been in the grave our noses will still be strolling the earth.”

Waited for the spam storm to subside a bit!
I never would have thought of Milan Kundera in association with nose, although the line you mention is interesting. In fact my repertoire of famous noses is very small.The other one I might think of is Pinocchio, but he lived in Europe and, for aught I know, never took to writing or acting.
So I feel I need a little more context!
Is he from Asia?

Ok... this may help unmuddy the waters: The country of origin is in the Eastern Hemisphere and yet is considered to be entirely within the European continent ( is in no way in the continent of Asia - even in part ). Staying within my theme I offer you some music to help you concentrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RtfltxVY4A

Enjoyed the music and if the answer Is Nicolai Gogol who wrote the tale "The Nose" it really helped.

Thanks, Tailor. Enjoyed this humorous prelude immensely. It takes something to be able to dance gracefully under those big noses.
Give me a bit of time to think something up.

New riddle:
She was so tired of playing at dolls; so she left.
Who is she? And who is the author?

hmmm... going with Scraps... the Patchwork Girl of Oz... by L. Frank Baum as my first guess.
