[[McClintic Sphere]], a character in [[Thomas Pynchon]]'s 1963 novel ''[[V.]]'', is modeled on Coleman and [[Thelonious Monk]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/jazz/dornette.htm |title=Ornette's Permanent Revolution |work=[[The Atlantic]] |date=September 1985 |access-date=May 11, 2020 |author=Davis, Francis |quote=In Thomas Pynchon's novel V. there is a character named McClintic Sphere, who plays an alto saxophone of hand-carved ivory (Coleman's was made of white plastic) at a club called the V Note.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |url=https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/art-improviser/ |title=The Art of the Improviser |journal=[[The Nation]] |date=April 26, 2007 |access-date=May 11, 2020 |author=Yaffe, David |quote=Of all the ink spilled on Coleman's impact, perhaps the most memorable came from Thomas Pynchon's 1963 debut novel, V., in which the character McClintic Sphere (with a last name nodding to Thelonious Monk's middle name) sets the jazz world on end at a club called the V-Note.}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/seeing-ornette-coleman |title=Seeing Ornette Coleman |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |date=June 12, 2015 |access-date=May 11, 2020 |author=Bynum, Taylor Ho |quote=In Thomas Pynchon's 1963 novel 'V.', a thinly veiled character named McClintic Sphere appears, playing a 'white ivory' saxophone at the 'V Spot.' Pynchon's wonderfully terse parody of the portentous debate around Coleman's music is as follows: 'He plays all the notes Bird missed,' somebody whispered in front of Fu. Fu went silently through the motions of breaking a beer bottle on the edge of the table, jamming it into the speaker's back and twisting.}}</ref>
