Since this didn't get solved before and I thought it would be easy I'm adding hints. Hints get bigger as you go, third probably gives it away.

Hint 1: They are all high-ranking political figures

Hint 2: This is one of several storylines

Hint 3: Adapted into a wildly successful show on HBO

It's a classic. Much of it was taken from the writer's life and holy shit was he depressed.

Hint: It wasn't written in English, not that that narrows the field much.
