Post an artist from a field other than music and musicians you feel are their best equivalent. Other anons may correct and critique you.
I'll start with William Seward Burroughs and his equivalents Harry Partch, Charles Manson and Death In June.
but he made music though

fite me
Just to be clear, the equivalence lies in the artists' socratic (read teacher/student, the artist being the teacher) homosexuality (or bisexuality in Manson's case) paired with their outcast traditionalism/spiritualism.
Bohren & der Club of Gore

You're still off base by comparing Burroughs to Manson at all. Know what you're talking about so you can save yourself from future embarrassment.
Ian Watkins
Anybody know who's the equivalent of Francis bacon?

Probably Zoobombs or C.C.C.C
The musical equivalents of Burroughs that aren't Burroughs include The Fall, Country Teasers, and Ornette Coleman

Who is the Coltrane of literature?

Explain to me how I am wrong because your objections are likely based in not knowing squat about Manson.

The Burroughs / Kurt image of them in his yard comes to mind.

Burroughs equivalent is TG and Genesis P-Orridge, Gen even talked about this sort of thing extensively in multiple interviews.
Cut up technique and focus on degeneracy and satire and everything Burroughs is known for.
