-Are you mad?
-What I am is working very hard to make peace with my enemies.
Is the second sentence correct in this context?
Gratefully,

Re: what I am
Except in humorously informal speech, this kind of locution is not acceptable. (For formal purposes, the complement of 'am' here should be a noun or adjective).
