Lists as in Clojure lists, or as in java.util.Lists?

Anyway, since you apparently need your own equality function (can't rely on 
Object#equals), you'll have to build more structures. Make a function that 
extract the key from the entire object, say *key-fn*, and then do

(apply dissoc (into {} (map #(-> [(key-fn %) %] list-a))) (map key-fn 
list-b))
